    Categories: Breads, Cheese, Chocolate, Nuts
    Yield: 49 servings

    1 c Graham cracker crumbs
    1/4 c Fine chopped pecans
    1/4 c Butter, melted

    MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
    16 oz Cream cheese; softened
    1/2 c Sugar
    1/4 c Sour cream
    2 lg Eggs; room temp, lightly
    - beaten
    1/2 ts Vanilla extract

    MMMMM--------------------------COATING-------------------------------
    24 oz Semisweet chocolate;
    - chopped
    3 tb Shortening

    Set oven @ 325┬║F/165┬║C.

    Line a 9" square baking pan with foil and grease the
    foil. In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs,
    pecans and butter. Press onto bottom of prepared pan.

    In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and sour cream
    until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla; beat on low speed
    just until combined. Pour over crust. Bake until center
    is almost set, 35-40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
    Freeze overnight.

    In a microwave, melt chocolate and shortening; stir
    until smooth. Cool slightly.

    Using foil, lift cheesecake out of pan. Gently peel off
    foil. Cut cheesecake into 1 1/4" squares; refrigerate.
    Remove a few squares at a time for dipping, keeping
    remaining squares refrigerated until ready to dip.

    Using a toothpick, completely dip squares, 1 at a time,
    into melted chocolate mixture; allow excess to drip off.
    Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Spoon
    additional chocolate over the tops if necessary to coat.
    (Reheat chocolate if needed to finish dipping.) Let
    stand for 20 minutes or until set. Store in an airtight
    container in the refrigerator or freezer.
