Got this out of this month's Betty Crocker Indulgent Desserts. Haven't had a chance to make it, but it looks divine. Notes: You can use mini chocolate chips instead of chocolate-coated toffee bits. Definitely leave yourself all day to work on this, as there looks to be a lot of bake and set times. Allowing the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 30 minutes helps prevent cracking. Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups chocolate graham crackers, finely chopped (18 squares) |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine, melted |
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened |

1 teaspoon vanilla |
