this looked so absolutely yummy that I had to share. I have not made this... it is a Kraft recipe... the prep time does not include the chilling times

crust
2 cups oreo chocolate cookie crumbs
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
praline nut layer
1 cup planters pecan pieces
1-1/2 cups (3 sticks) butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
cream cheese layer
2 packages (8 ounces each) philadelphia cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
chocolate ganache
4 squares baker's semi-sweet baking chocolate
1/3 cup whipping cream

3. PRALINE NUT LAYER: SPRINKLE pecans over crust. Place butter and brown sugar in saucepan; cook over medium heat until mixture comes to boil. Boil 4 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly. Pour over pecans; cool slightly. Cover; freeze 3 hours or until set.

5. CREAM CHEESE LAYER: BEAT cream cheese, powdered sugar and brown sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Spread over Praline Nut Layer. Refrigerate until chilled.

9. For Easier Cutting: Rinse knife in hot water, a wet knife will slice through this dessert easier and prevent the layers from sticking to the knife.
