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 a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good.

I've made this cheesecake several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The crust is the perfect balance of crunchy and chewy, and the filling is rich and creamy.
