I had some carmel and pecans here so I split them and made half turtle and the other half cherry. I think the next time I will seperate the cream cheese mixture and make part of it plain and part chocolate. Everyone loved them but I enjoy non chocolate cheese cake as well and it would give a nice selection.

This was easy to make and delicious. It's a light tasting chocolate cheesecake and it actually made 28 so I had plenty to share with friends and keep some for myself.
