- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter until well blended.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased mini muffin tin, creating small cups. Make sure the crust is evenly distributed.

Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecake Bites
- Remove the crusts from the refrigerator and fill each one with the cheesecake filling, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
- Top each bite with a slice of banana, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and a sprinkle of crushed nuts.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
- Place the filled muffin tin back in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the bites are set.
