I don’t remember who passed this chocolate turtle cheesecake recipe on to me nor do I have any idea who originally came up with the turtle cheesecake recipe. What I am sure of is that it had to do with the delicious “turtles candy”. Most of you probably grew up having these candies and just take them for granted. I remember the first time I was introduced to the turtles candy. It was at Christmastime and I was working at NCR. These candies were being sold in huge boxes and everyone was passing them out to us at work. I thought those were the best candies I had ever tasted! Now to think we have those combined with cheesecake. How delicious!

CHOCOLATE TURTLE CHEESECAKE RECIPE

• 2 Cups vanilla wafer crumbs


• 6 Tablespoons melted butter


• 1 Bag (14 ounces) caramels


• 1 Can (5 ounces) evaporated milk


• 1 Cup chopped toasted pecans


• 2 Packages (8 ounces) soft cream cheese


• ½ Cup sugar


• 1 Teaspoon vanilla


• 2 Eggs


• ½ Cup semi chocolate chips, melted

Preheat oven to 350F degrees.

Combine the crumbs and melted butter; press in the bottom of a 9 inch spring form pan.

Bake for 10 minutes and cool.

Unwrap caramels and combine with the milk in a heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth.

Pour caramel mixture over the crust; top with the pecans.

Combine the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl and mix on medium speed until well blended.

Add eggs one at a time mixing well after each addition.

Blend in the melted chocolate, mix well and pour over the pecans.

Bake for 40 minutes. Loosen cake from rim of pan and cool before removing rim completely.

Chill until cold before serving.

Like the chocolate turtle cheesecake recipe, the following praline cheesecake recipe is also delicious. Because of the brown sugar, rum and pecans in this recipe, it also reminds me of the turtle cheesecake recipes.
