Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a food processor, finely grind the graham crackers and pecans. Place crumbs in a medium bowl and stir in melted butter.

Melt the chocolate chips and the peppermint bark in double boiler or microwave. Stir until smooth. Stir half of chocolate mixture into cream cheese mixture, then stir in other half. Place 1 tablespoon of batter in each of the muffin cups. Bake until set, 10-12 minutes. Cool the cheesecake for 15 minutes and then refrigerate at least 4 hours. Remove cheesecakes from pan. Top with whipped cream and chopped Peppermint Bark.
