Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Mix cookie crumbs and butter. Press firmly onto bottom of prepared pan. Bake 10 minutes.
Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in large bowl on medium speed. Add sour cream and mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating on low until blended. Remove 1 cup of batter and set aside.
Stir melted chocolate into remaining batter in large bowl. Pour over crust. Top with spoonfuls of the 1 cup of plain batter. Cut through batter with a knife to make swirl effects.
