This pumpkin cheesecake and brittle was a big hit at our family dinner!

Wonderful flavor!... Unfortunately when I made mine...followed all the directions to the tee and it never baked in the center, so after I had already cut into it I baked it again and it tasted great! This method will keep the cake from craking and my crust didn't get burnt (which i was worried about) even with being baked twice. Definitely leave it in longer if it seems way to giggly!

Delicious AND easy to make. This was a huge hit at Thanksgiving dinner! Do not leave the pecans out of the crust, toasted or not, they make it so much better!

Not limited to gingersnaps for the crust, I had used some plain almond cookies instead. Very yummy!

I had to bake the cheesecake an extra 10 minutes and it still didn't seem to be fully set (the middle jiggled a little). I didn't want to end up over baking it, so I took it out and... it turned out great!
