– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 12 graham cracker squares, crushed
– 1 cup chocolate chips, melted
– Assorted toppings (sprinkles, chopped nuts, coconut flakes)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer on medium speed.

6. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle.
7. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
8. Once the cheesecake is chilled and firm, use a sharp knife to cut it into small squares, about 2 inches in size.
9. Insert a popsicle stick into the center of each cheesecake square, making sure it is secure.
10. Line a baking sheet with wax paper and place the cheesecake pops on it.
11. Dip each cheesecake pop into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
