Oreo Cheesecake Bites Recipe

I am a hard-core cheesecake lover.
They opened a Cheesecake Factory Restaurant (hooray!) about 20 minutes from my house and last Saturday my husband I decided to go try it out.
We had some friends arrive a couple of minutes before we did to put our names on the waiting list (it was around 5 pm on Saturday night) . . . the wait for a table was over 2 HOURS long!!
I love cheesecake, but I wasn’t sure I could wait TWO HOURS for some.
So, we ate at a delicious Mexican restaurant and I came home and made my own cheesecake.
The thing that I love about this recipe is that it can be cut into little tiny bite-size pieces. For some reason I don’t feel as guilty when I pop about 10 of these little bites into mouth as compared to sitting down and devouring a huge piece of cheesecake (even though I have a feeling they equal out to be about the same amount).
Also, make these for your friends . . . you will instantly become very popular! 
Oreo Cheesecake Bites Recipe
Ingredients:
36 OREO Cookies, divided
1/4 cup butter or margarine, divided
4 pkg. (8 oz. each) cream cheese, softened (I used Neufchatel cheese)
1 cup sugar
1 cup sour cream (I used light)
1 tsp. vanilla
4 eggs
1/2 pound (8 oz) chocolate candy coating (or other chocolate that can be melted)
Directions:
HEAT oven to 325°F.
LINE 13×9-inch baking pan with foil, with ends extending over sides. Finely crush 24 cookies (I placed them in a Ziploc bag and crushed them with my rolling pin). Melt 1/4 cup butter; mix with crumbs. Press onto bottom of prepared pan.
BEAT softened cream cheese and sugar with mixer until blended. Add sour cream and vanilla; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each just until blended. Chop remaining 12 Oreo cookies. Gently stir into batter; pour over crust.
BAKE 45 min. or until center is almost set. Cool (I stuck mine into the fridge for about 2 hours). Meanwhile, microwave chocolate microwaveable bowl until melted (follow directions on packaging); stir until smooth. Use foil handles to lift cheesecake from pan and cut into bite-size pieces. Place on baking sheet covered in wax paper. Drizzle melted chocolate over each piece of cheesecake using a spoon. Stick in the fridge until chocolate has hardened.

Too funny, I feel the same way about bite sized desserts. Somehow I feel like the calories don’t count
These look fantastic!
Wow!!! I can’t wait to try these they look amazing
What is chocolate candy coating? My guess is chocolate chips or bar to be melted and drizzled? I just wanna make sure cause they look amazing and I cant wait to give them a try!
Oreos and cheesecake together. Yummy!! Thanks for sharing a great looking recipe, will have to try this.
Goodness, I wouldn’t have waited two hours to eat at a restaurant either! We love cheesecake, so I cant wait to try this recipe. Pinned it.
A new way to eat oreo’s and cheesecake. I am going to try this.
These look so delicious! I can’t wait to try them!!! Making them at home is definitely a good alternative to waiting for the Cheesecake Factory – no matter how good their cheesecake is, 2 hours is 2 hours too long to wait!!!
Okay, yum. This looks better than Cheesecake Factory! All that waiting can sour the food.
Cheesecake Factory is well worth the wait…can you tell it is my favorite restaurant?
Although I don’t enjoy paying that much for their cheesecake when you can make one just as good at home!! Love the little mini bites of cheesecake love!!!
