Creating these Mini Chocolate Cheesecake Bites is a simple and enjoyable process. Follow these steps to make your dessert:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Prepare the Muffin Tin: Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners for easy removal.
3. Make the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
4. Form the Crust: Press a spoonful of the crust mixture into each mini muffin cup, creating an even layer on the bottom.
5. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
6. Add Remaining Ingredients: Gradually mix in powdered sugar, sour cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
7. Incorporate Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing until combined. Then fold in the chocolate chips.
8. Fill the Muffin Tin: Pour the filling over the prepared crusts in each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the centers are set but slightly jiggly.
10. Cool and Chill: Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Then, transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
11. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with whipped cream or shaved chocolate if desired.
