Chocolate Turtle Cheesecake....

2 cups nilla wafer crumbs
2 TBSP butter
14 oz individually wrapped caramels
1 (5 oz) can evaporated milk
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 cup semi sweet choco chips ( i just used milk choco cuz thats what I have)
2 (8 oz) pkgs cream cheese, softened

Melt butter and combine with cookie crumbs.  Press into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan (I also put a piece of wax paper which I sprayed with non stick cooking spray, just incase!!) Melt caramels with milk in a saucepan over med-low heat.  Heat and stir frequently until smooth.  Pour caramel sauce onto crust and top with pecans.   In a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, combine cream cheese, sugar and vanilla.  Beat until very smooth.  Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.  Melt chocolate and blend into cream cheese mixture.  Pour chocolate batter over pecans.  Bake @ 350 degrees for 40 mins.  Do not remove rim of pan until it has completely cooled.  Chill completely.  Garnish with whipped cream, chopped nuts or maraschino cherries.  I used the Pioneer Woman's easy Caramel sauce that I posted on this blog a while back.(See Oct 3rd's post to be exact!)

*The salad was Jennie's Winter Salad which I think she also posted on this blog a while back.
And the Cherry Limeade drink was posted on Oct 27 2011 on this blog!
