Laurel's Turtle Cheesecake image

Wow, this is a cheesecake! The cheesecake itself is nice and creamy. The cookie crust has a layer of caramel and nuts which gives you that turtle flavor in every bite. Drizzled with more caramel, nuts, and chocolate, this is one decadent cheesecake recipe.

This cheesecake was delicious! The crust was graham cracker instead of Oreo, and I used milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. It was perfect for a summer party.
