Add 2 tablespoons sugar and butter and pulse until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Place a heaping tablespoon of the crumb mixture in the bottom of each baking cup. Press gently to form an even crust. Bake crusts in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Place pan on wire rack to cool while you prepare the filling. Beat cream cheese, remaining 2 tablespoonssugar and cornstarch in the large bowl of an electric mixer until well mixed. Add egg and blend well. Add corn syrup and vanilla. Beat until just blended. Pour filling into baking cups, dividing evenly. Bake for 15 minutes or until just set. Chill for 1 hour. Once your cheesecakes are completely chilled, prepare the ganache. In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream until very hot, but not boiling. Place chocolate pieces into a heat safe bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and allow it to sit for about 5 minutes. Whisk the cream and chocolate until smooth and thoroughly combined. Whisk in the corn syrup, and vanilla.

Spoon the glaze into the center of each cheesecake and top with more chopped pecans. Return the cheesecakes to the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.

Food Joke

A young woman, who was at her father's funeral, asked her mother, "Mom, how did Dad die?" Her mom replied, "Heart attack." "What was he doing?" the daughter asked. Her mother said, "Well, we were having sex." This enfuriated the daughter, because they were both 80 years old. The daughter said, "You guys are 80 years old! You should have expected something like this! You're way too old to be engaging in this sort of activity!" The mom replied, "Well, you see, years ago, we realized that at noon every day, the church bells rang. So, we decided to work along to that nice, slow rhythm so that your father wouldn't have a heart attack. It worked for years too. That poor guy... he'd still be alive today if that darned Ice Cream truck hadn't come along..."
