Frosted Chocolate Chip Cheesecake image

"Heavenly" is a good description for this luscious dessert, conveniently made a day ahead. When I don't have a candy bar on hand, I melt ¾ cup of chocolate chips to use in the frosting. Whipped cream can be used in place of the whipped topping.-Arlene Butler, Ogden, Utah

This cheesecake was a little too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good.

I didn't have any chocolate chips, so I used chopped walnuts instead. It was still delicious!
