Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Combine over hot (not coiling) water chocolate
chips and sugar. Heat until melted and smooth. Set aside. In small bowl
combine graham cracker crumbs, 2 Tbsp. sugar and melted butter. Mix well.
Pat firmly into 9″ springform pan, covering bottom and 1 1/2″ up sides. Set
aside. In large bowl, beat cream cheese until light and creamy. Gradually
beat in 3/4 cup sugar. Mix in sour cream and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a
time, beating well after each addition. Divide batter in half. Stir melted
chocolate mixture into first half. Pour into crumb-lined pan. Cover with
plain batter. With a knife, swirl plain batter with chocolate batter to
marbleize. Bake at 325 degrees for 50 minutes, or until only a 2 to 3 inch
circle in center will shake. Cool at room temp. Refrigerate.
