I am a chocolate lover/dessert lover and this was way too rich for me. I baked it 50 minutes. When I cut it 6 hours later the center and most of the edges were "soupy." I recommend substituting the chocolate chunks for chocolate chips. I would still use the bakers chocolate for the glaze on top though. I doubt I'll make again.

This cheesecake was the first one that I have ever made. It was easy and it was so good. If you like chocolate, you will LOVE this cheesecake!
