I'm not a fan of caramel, so I used hot fudge sauce instead. It was still delicious.

I served the cheesecake with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. It was a perfect combination.

I let the cheesecake cool completely before refrigerating it. I think this helped to keep the crust from getting soggy.

I baked the cheesecake for 60 minutes and it was perfect. I think you could probably get away with baking it for 55 minutes, but I wouldn't go any shorter than that.

I made this cheesecake in a 9-inch springform pan and it turned out perfectly. I think it would also work well in a 10-inch pan.

I didn't have any nuts on hand, so I left them out. The cheesecake was still delicious.

I had some trouble finding the chocolate chips, but I used semi-sweet chocolate bars instead and they worked just fine.
