Preheat oven to 325F. Line a muffin pan with 12 paper cups.
Separate the crème cookies into two halves with the crème attached to both pieces.
Place one cookie half in each of the 12 muffin cups with the crème side facing up.
Place the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat with a hand mixer until well blended.
Mix in the melted chocolate. Add in the eggs one at a time at low speed until just blended.
