Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs
- 3 tbsp melted butter
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 oz (2 packages) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ½ cup melted milk chocolate
For the Topping:
- 1 cup mini Rolos
- ½ cup caramel sauce
- Chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners. In a small bowl, mix the cookie crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press a tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each liner to form the crust. Bake for 5 minutes and let cool.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and sour cream. Mix until fully combined. Gently fold in the melted milk chocolate.

3. Assemble and Bake:
Divide the cheesecake batter evenly among the muffin liners, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the centers are set. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

4. Add the Topping:
Once the cheesecakes have cooled, top each with a spoonful of caramel sauce and place 2-3 mini Rolos on top. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings for an extra touch of decadence.

Cooking Tips
- For an extra crunch, add crushed pretzels to the crust mixture for a sweet and salty twist.
- Chill the cheesecakes in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving for the best texture.
