This Chocolate Bliss Cheesecake is a decadent, rich, and creamy chocolate cheesecake. It's sooo good and almost failproof - I've made it so many times, I'd call it my "fall-back" cheesecake.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 325° F.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and butter. Press onto the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer until well blended. Add the melted chocolate and mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed just until blended.
Pour mixture over the crust. Bake 55-60 minutes or until the center is almost set. Remove from oven and carefully run a knife around the rim of the pan to loosen the cake. Cool 2 hours on the counter, then refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
Notes
Can I freeze slices of cheesecake? Be sure the cheesecake is cooled completely first! You can freeze individual slices by wrapping them in foil or plastic and placing them in heavy freezer-type plastic bags. Individually wrapped slices will last for three weeks.
You can also freeze an entire cheesecake and it will last four to six weeks. Wrap it well in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil.
