I am posting this recipe at the request of another Zaar member. She had the recipe and had lost the cookbook it was in. It came out of the Pillsbury Bake-Off Cookbook in 1965. I will have to admit that I have never tried it, but she assured me that it was the best cheesecake that she had ever eaten. It does look yummy. Of course we all know there's no such thing as bad chocolate anything! LOL I'll have to admit that I guessed at the prep time and only put down the time the cheesecake is in the oven as passive work time. I did not list the time for cooling and chilling the cake.
