Ingredients
- 2 cups chocolate wafer crumbs
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (14 ounce) can chocolate-flavored sweetened condensed milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 3 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons crushed peppermint candies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line 18 muffin cups with foil baking cups.
- Combine chocolate wafer crumbs and butter in a medium bowl; divide mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, pressing firmly to form crusts.
- Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 6 minutes. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes. Keep oven on.
- Beat cream cheese in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Beat in sweetened condensed milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract into a smooth filling. Divide filling evenly over the cooled crusts.
- Bake in the preheated oven until filling is set, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Remove foil baking cups gently.
- Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, 1 to 3 minutes. Drizzle melted chocolate over cheesecake bites and sprinkle with peppermint candies. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Reviews
Great dessert to bring to another’s home. I had to substitute the chocolate condensed milk, since I couldn’t find it anywhere. Therefore, it wasn’t as chocolatey as I would have like, but all in all, it was really tasty!
