This is the dessert I made for Mother's Day. It was pretty good.

What you need:

1 1/2 C crushed Nilla Wafers (about 50)
3/4 C chopped Planters Pecans, devided
1/4 C (1/2 stick) butter, melted
32 Kraft Caramels (I would just used the caramel you used on ice cream)
3 T. milk
4 pkg. (8 oz each) Philadelphia Cream cheese, softened
1 C sugar
1 C Breakstones or Knudsen Sour Cream
4 eggs
1 pkg. (8 squares) (8 oz) Baker's Semi-Sweet Chocolate, divided

Make it:

Heat oven to 325 degrees.

Mix wafer crumbs, 1/2 C nuts and butter; press onto bottom of 13 by 9 inch pan. Microwave caramels and milk in microwaveable bowl on medium for 4 to 5 min. or unitl caramels are melted and mixture is well blended, stirring every 2 min. Pour over crust; spread to within 1 inch of edge. Cool. (I would just suggest to squeeze ice cream caramel over crust)

Beat cream cheese and sugar with mixer until well blended. Add sour cream; mix well. Add eggs 1 at a time mixing on low speed afer each just until blended. Melt 7 chocolate squares. Stir into cream cheeze batter; pour over caramel layer.

Bake 45 to 50 min. or until center is almost set. Cool completely. Refrigerate 4 hours. Sprinkle with remaining nuts just before serving. Melt remaining chcolate wuare; drizzle over cheesecake.
