Steps:
- Mix crumbs, 1/2 cup pecans, granulated sugar and butter.
- Line 13x9-inch baking pan with foil; press crumbs firmly onto bottom of pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
- Beat cream cheese, brown sugar, flour and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.
- Mixture will be pretty thick.
- Add sour cream; mix well.
- Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended.
- Place 36 caramels and 1 tablespoon water in microwavable bowl.
- Microwave on high 1 minute or until caramels are completely melted when stirred.
- Add melted caramels to cream cheese batter; stir until well blended.
- The caramel will become kind of stringy through the batter as the caramels cool.
- Pour over crust.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until center is almost set.
- Sprinkle cheesecake with remaining 1/2 cup pecans.
- Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
- ****The recipe calls for melting the remaining caramels and 1 Tbsp of water and drizzling over it, but I did this when I made it and found that the caramel immediately cools and becomes very very sticky.
- I think next time I make it, I will use some caramel ice cream topping to drizzle on top instead.

BUTTER PECAN CARAMEL CHEESECAKE
It is a cheesecake that has a similar flavor to Butter Pecan Ice Cream. Now what could be greater than Cheesecake with Butter Pecan Ice Cream laced with carmel and a buttery pecan granola crust? I won 1st place of $2,500 on the KTLA Morning News Show in Los Angeles, CA. for this dessert. This contest was sponsored by the movie "Waitress". It's a lot of work but oh my, well worth it. I have not included some of my secret ingredients in order to keep it original but it is still good.

Steps:
- Bake pecans in 1/2 stick of butter in oven for 15 minutes Combine in blender the pecans, granola crumbs, flour and brown sugar, Reserve 1/3 cup of the granola mixture to put on the top of the cheesecake. Melt a half a cup of butter and mix it with the Granola mixture then put the rest of the mixture on the bottom and sides of a 10 inch springform pan pressing firmly. Place in the preheated (350) oven and bake for crust for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool.
- In a double broiler or a metal bowl steamed over hot water, place caramels in the bowl with the evaporated milk and stir constantly until completely melted stir in the butter. Pour caramel mixture over the bottom of the granola crust. Reserve approximately 1/2 cup or more for the batter. (I now make my caramel from scratch it's a lot easier to work with and not as hard as the candy caramels. If you know how to make good caramel from scratch I strongly recommend that instead).
- Do not let the caramel sauce touch the pan or it will stick and break the pan.
- Beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy then gradually add the sugar and mix it well at medium speed. Beat in the sour cream, vanilla and butter flavoring. Add caramels to the cream cheese mixture. Stir in the remaining roasted pecans. Add eggs one at a time, beat well after each addition.
- Pour batter over the caramel mixture. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the batter. Bake at 475 for 10 minutes then reduce temperature to 300 and bake for 55 minutes. Allow cheesecake to cool down in the oven with the oven off. Let cool then refrigerate for at least 6 hours before serving, preferably over night.
- This cheesecakes success required that you use a standard cheesecake water-bath to avoid cracking. Special instruction on cutting: Take a very sharp knife and run under hot water before each cut. Cut straight down and force the knife through the caramel because it will be very hard. The first cut is always the hardest. It gets easier with each cut.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place pie pan onto cookie sheet for easier handling. Sprinkle pecans over crust, pour caramel sauce over top of the pecans. Set aside.
- 2. In a medium bowl beat cream cheese with mixer until smooth and creamy, add sugar and vanilla mixing well. Mix in eggs, beating until smooth. Pour cheesecake mixture over caramel. Bake at 325 for 45-55 minutes. Top will no longer be jiggly and it will start to crack when done. Place on cooling racks to cool, drizzle with more caramel sauce when serving if desired. Store in refrigerator.
- 3. You can use store bought caramel sauce or make this homemade sauce. Homemade Caramel Sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, add sugar stir until blended, whisk in cream and salt. Bring to a gentle boil and cook 5 minutes, boiling gently and whisking occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Allow to cool then store in a sealed container in refrigerator. I use a squirt bottle (like the type ketchup or BBQ sauce comes in at a restaurant) This can be made a couples days in advance, just pop in microwave to warm. Microwave only 15 seconds at a time.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your cheesecake. Use real butter, cream cheese, and eggs, and choose high-quality caramel sauce and pecans.
- Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before you start. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients and prevent lumps.
- Don't overbeat the cheesecake batter. Overbeating can make the cheesecake tough and dense. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined, then stop.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help prevent the cheesecake from cracking. Place the cheesecake pan in a larger baking pan filled with hot water, and bake according to the recipe instructions.
- Chill the cheesecake completely before serving. This will help the cheesecake set and firm up. Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
Conclusion:
This caramel pecan cheesecake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy cheesecake filling, rich caramel sauce, and crunchy pecans, this cheesecake is sure to be a hit. Follow the tips above to make sure your cheesecake turns out perfect.
