2 cups oreo chocolate cookie crumbs |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
1 cup pecan pieces |
1 1/2 cups butter |
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar |
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar |
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar |
4 ounces semisweet baking chocolate |
1/3 cup whipping cream |
Directions:
1. Crust: Mix cookie crumbs and butter; press firmly onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan.
2. Praline Nut Layer: Sprinkle pecans over crust.
3. Place butter and brown sugar in saucepan; cook over medium heat until mixture comes to boil.
4. Boil 2 to 4 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly.

8. Spread over Praline Nut Layer.
