Instead of carmels I used 3 small containers of carmel apple dip ( 0.99 each) and it worked great. Read More

Not really a cheesecake I was hoping for one. If you cut one slice the rest of the pie fills up the space. Read More

this did not turn out well for me. The cream cheese/chocolate filling had barely any chocolate taste and mostly an unsweetened cream cheese flavor. And letting it set for only 15 minutes (I actually let it set about 30) and then drizzling the chocolate syrup over the top was a big mistake. Two hours later when I went to get it out of the fridge it appeared that the hot fudge sauce had caused the filling to sort of 'break down' and it was very liquidy and not appetizing. The chocolate crust with the caramel on top was the only good part. Read More

i added a layer of melted choc chips mixed with whipped cream on top of the crust to add more chocolate to the recipe. also once the caramel is refrigerated it hardens making it hard to slice. all around pretty good. will make again. Read More

What a massive failure. I made this twice in one night thinking I had done something wrong. The pie never fully sets up has little to no cheescake flavor. I took the second one to work for a pot luck and no one ate it. Read More

this was the first cheesecake i've made and it turned out perfect! no oozing caramel and it didn't stick either. the only thing i would change is that the cheesecake flavor gets overwhelmed by all the pecan chocolate and caramel. next time i will keep the crust the same but make 1 1/2 to 2 times the cheesecake mixture.
