For an even richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. To prevent the top from cracking, place a pan of hot water on the lower rack of the oven while baking. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely in the oven with the door ajar to prevent cracking. Cheesecake can be prepared 1-2 days in advance. Store in refrigerator.
