Tips on making cheesecake

2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs

6 tablespoons butter, melted

24 caramels (about 7 ounces)

½ cup evaporated milk

1 cup chopped pecans

16 ounces cream cheese, softened

½ cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 large eggs

6 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted



Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Combine the crumbs and butter in a 9-inch springform pan until well mixed. Press onto the bottom and 1 ¼ inches up the side of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes.

Microwave caramels and milk in a large microwavable bowl for 1 ½ minutes on high. Stir; microwave 1 minute longer. Stir until the caramels are completely melted and smooth. Pour into the crust and top with the pecans.

Beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until well blended. Add the eggs, beat well. Mix in the chocolate and pour this mixture over the pecans in the pan. Bake for 40 minutes or until firm. Cool on a wire rack. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Garnish with whipped topping and shaved chocolate, if desired. 12 Servings.
