For an extra nutty flavor, toast the pecans lightly before chopping and adding them to the caramel layer. Use a high-quality chocolate for the batter; it makes a significant difference in the overall taste. Be careful not to overbake the cheesecake, as this can cause it to dry out. The center should still have a slight jiggle. To prevent sticking, lightly grease the springform pan before pressing in the cookie crumb crust. Garnish with whipped cream, chopped nuts, and maraschino cherries for a classic turtle candy presentation.
