| I got Great Value brand Oreos, and I have to confess that I kind of like the "Twist and Shout" name better. |
Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with mixer until
blended. Add melted chocolate; mix well.

| Gotta get all that goodness together! |
Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each
just until blended. Pour over crust.
Bake 55 min. to 1 hour or until center is almost set.
Run knife around rim of pan to loosen cake; cook before removing rim.

My Rating: 4/5 "I'm not normally a huge fan of cheesecake, to be honest - I think it's a little too rich and the dairy is overwhelming. But this one? Not so much! The chocolately goodness cuts both the richness and the dairy effect in a really nice way. Silky texture plus good flavor plus Oreo crust equals a heck of a nice dessert."
