Everyone's a chocolate lover when it comes to this special dessert. "It melts in your mouth!" and "Very smooth and fudgy!" are typical comments I've heard after guests take a bite. For a fun taste twist, spoon cherry or strawberry topping over each slice.

I love eating cheesecake and this one is great! The chocolate was SO good. I will definitely make this again! I didn't use the chocolate wafer crumbs, I used regular graham cracker crumbs- I didn't have the chocolate ones on hand. It was just as good, and so smooth!

This is one of my favorites. If you have never made a cheesecake before this is very easy to make.Give it a try and you will make it over and over.It always impresses everyone.

The crust for the bottom was to sweet and the chocolate part of the cake was awful. Hard, not smooth and creamy like cheesecakes should be. Would no make again unless recipe was redone.

Holy Moly! I used 6oz of milk chocolate and 6oz of dark chocolate Dove bars instead of semisweet chips and dropped the sugar to 1/2 cup. This was SO AMAZING! Valentines day was a hit and so were the couple days of decadent leftovers! I will SO be making this again! Pure Heaven!

I am a lunch cook at a private school and I have made cheesecakes before but never a chocolate cheesecake. I was under the impression it was going to be difficult... I couldn't have been more wrong! This recipe was so easy and turned out BEAUTIFULLY! the kids and teachers are going to love this
