Instructions

1. Take the softened cream cheese, egg, sugar, and salt and beat until well combined and smooth.
2. Fold in the chocolate chips. Set aside. 
3. In a separate bowl, combine together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Reserve 1/4 cup of the mixture. 
4. In a mini cupcake tin, scoop out about 1-2 teaspoons of the graham cracker mixture and press firmly into the mold with a small spoon. 
5. Spoon about 1-2 teaspoons of the cream cheese mixture on top being careful not to overfill. 
6. Sprinkle on the remaining 1/4 cup of graham cracker mixture on top of each mini cheesecake bite.
7. Bake at 325F for 16-18 minutes or until a knife inserted into one comes out clean.

Notes

Mini-chocolate chips work best. If you have regular sized chocolate chips, you can roughly chop them with a sharp knife and use them as a substitute for the mini-chocolate chips. 

If you do not have graham cracker crumbs, you can take whole graham crackers and crush them by hand or in a food processor until finely ground.
