Chocolate Turtle Cheesecake II Recipe

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine cookie crumbs and butter. Press into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan. Over low heat, melt caramels with evaporated milk. Heat and stir frequently until smooth. Pour sauce into crust, sprinkle with pecans. Combine cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Mix until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend cooled chocolate into cream cheese mixture. Pour batter over pecans. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until filling is set.

Very middle should still shake. Loosen cake from the edges of pan, but do not remove rim until cooled to prevent the top from cracking. Chill in refrigerator for 4 hours, or overnight.
