Here is the recipe for the delicious cheese cake we had for New Years. Enjoy!

2 packages (8oz each) of cream cheese softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
20 KRAFT caramels
or
1 tub caramel dipping sauce from the produce dept.
Use enough to spread on the bottom of the crust
(and there is still enough left over for dipping with
granny smith apples and Scors chipits)
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Graham cracker pie crust

MIX cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs; mix until blended. Melt caramels with milk on low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Stir in pecans.
POUR caramel mixture into crust. Pour cream cheese batter over caramel mixture.
BAKE at 350 F for 40 minutes or until center is almost set. Cool. Refrigerate 3 hours or overnight. Garnish with chocolate syrup and caramel.
