Instructions
In a bowl, mix graham cracker or cookie crumbs with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.

- Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and melted chocolate or cocoa powder. Mix until fully combined.
- Spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture over the chilled crusts, smoothing the tops.
- Drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle lightly with sea salt if desired.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 2–3 hours, or until firm.
- Optional: Garnish with whipped cream or an extra drizzle of chocolate before serving.
Notes
- Use Oreo cookies for a richer chocolate crust.
- Add crushed pretzels for a sweet-salty crunch.
- Swap in white chocolate for a sweeter filling variation.
- Mix chopped caramel candies into the filling for added texture.
- Top with toasted nuts for crunch and flavor contrast.
