OMGOSH! Absolutely YUMMY Goodness! To help lighten the caloric load, I used the less fat Philly Cream Cheese, and seeing as I was L-A-Z-Y and not wanting to crush oreas (why waste a perfectly good cookie?) I bought already crushed oreo crumbs. I cut the recipe in half as I didn't need a 13x9 cheesecake to eat! :) For those wanting to know the equivalent of already crushed crumbs, I used 1 3/4 Cups for an 8x8 glass pan and used 1/4 cup melted butter. I also used parchment paper versus foil (my preference). Tip-pour the melted butter in first and let it cover the entire bottom, then put the crumbs in and press down all over to make an even surface. This is about one of the easiest cheesecake recipes around! and soooooo chocolately GOOD! ;) Thanks Philly!

Excellent cheesecake. Very, very rich and creamy. I made it with a graham cracker crust because I didn't have the oreos on hand, and also baked the full recipe in a 8x8 pan instead of the 9x13 and it filled it up quite nicely with a thicker layer for the cheesecake and a nice thin crust.

I used this recipe but changed a couple of things. My friend is allergic to chocolate but she can eat white chocolate so i substituted melted white chocolate chips for the baking chocolate and then i made a graham cracker crust instead of oreo cookies! DELICIOUS! and to make it even better I topped it with more white chocolate chips for the last 5 minutes of baking. top with caramel and die cause it tastes so good lol

Made this today with the intention of taking it to work and sharing, but I couldn't resist cutting into it. It is SO GOOD! Also one of the easiest cheesecakes I've ever made. Thanks for the great recipe! Will definitely make again.

I made this In July for my son's b-day and everyone loved it. I made two and left out the blueberries. I was nervous, but thumbs up to me. Everyone ate both pies and left none for the next day. Proud of myself and thank you for a great recipe. I will make it again.

Very good, and even easier to make! Didn't have the rich chocolate taste I was after...I'm going to try covering it with a dark chocolate ganache next time.

During these times of cutting corners, and the fact that I am cheap, LOL. I used store brand cream cheese,cookies, chocolate,vanilla,margarine flour, eggs, and sugar. Tasted GREAT!! A family fave.

I really enjoyed this recipe. I made is for Easter dinner and everyone raved about it! While I followed the recipe almost completely, I did use reduced fat cream cheese (all that the store had, but a healthy change, too!) and I heated raspberry preserves in a saucepan and spread over the top just before serving. Yummy!

Made this for family and friends and all agreed it didn't taste much like cheese-cake and could have been a little sweeter. Mabey I did something wrong making it.

This is YUMMY! However, I messed up and didn't melt the chocolate chips and just added them so it was more a chocolate chip cheesecake, but oddly enough, it was GREAT! I then melted an 8 oz. bag of milk chocolate chips and spread it all over the top. Once it was refrigerated, it hardened and was a great top crust. One other variation was that I used the entire bag of Oreos and not just 24. For both the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips I used Ghiradelli brand.
