For the Cheesecake:
- 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined. Fold in chopped Reese’s cups.
