2 cups crushed vanilla wafers (about 60 wafers)
1/3 cup butter, melted

3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

In a small bowl, combine wafer crumbs and butter. Press onto the bottom and 1-1/2 in. up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. springform pan. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 10 minutes. Place pan on a wire rack to cool. Reduce heat to 350°.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in the flour, cream and vanilla. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour into crust.

In a small saucepan, melt caramels with cream over medium heat, stirring constantly. In another saucepan, melt chocolate chips and butter with cream over low heat, stirring until smooth. Drizzle caramel and chocolate toppings over cheesecake. Refrigerate overnight.

Very good cheesecake, but not spectacular. I really liked the Salted Caramel Cappuccino Cheesecake from this website better. But they really are 2 different kinds...so to each his own!
