6 squares BAKERS Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate
8 KRAFT Caramels, chopped

Preparation Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350. Mix baking crumbs and melted butter. Press firmly onto bottom and 1 inch up side of 9-inch springform pan. Beat cream cheese and sugar until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition just until blended. Stir in 6 squares melted chocolate and chopped caramels; pour over crust. Bake 45-50 minutes, or until center is almost set. Cover with marshmallows, chocolate chunks, and pecans. Broil until lightly browned. Do not walk away from oven. It takes only a few minutes. Cool to room temperature. Refrigerate 3 hours or overnight.
