- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup to form a crust.

- Spoon the cream cheese mixture over the crusts, filling each cup almost to the top.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the cheesecakes are set and slightly golden on top.
- Let the cheesecakes cool in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Top with your favorite fruits or a drizzle of chocolate before serving.
