    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    2 cups graham cracker crumbs
    1/3 cup white sugar
    1/2 cup butter, melted

    30 individually wrapped
    caramels, unwrapped
    3 tablespoons milk
    3/4 cup chopped pecans

    1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
    3 (8 ounce) packages cream
    cheese, softened
    3/4 cup white sugar
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    3 eggs

    Recipe



    1 In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar
    and melted butter. Mix well and press into the bottom and
    1 inch up the sides of a 9 inch springform pan. Pour on
    melted caramel/pecan mixture and chill for 30 minutes.

    2 To make the Caramel Filling: In a small saucepan,
    combine caramels and milk. Cook over low heat, stirring, until smooth. Stir in chopped pecans. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

    3 In the top of a double boiler, heat chocolate, stirring
    occasionally, until chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and allow to cool to lukewarm. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Fold 1/3 of the filling into the melted chocolate, then pour the chocolate mixture back into the filling and mix until no streaks remain. Pour into crust.

    4 Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until
    center is almost set. Place a pan of water on rack
    underneath cheesecake as it bakes to help keep it from cracking.

    Cool in oven with door cracked open. Refrigerate at least one day.
