I have been making this cheesecake for over 15 years now, and get raves everytime I make it. I use vanilla not rum, but love the candy bars in it. Very rich but great and easy to make

been making this for years----amazing----I leave out the candy in the filling- and also sometimes a little of the crumbs on top it ( there is a lot of crumbs left to use on the top)or maybe my cheese cake pan is smaller.serve small pieces its very rich--EVERYONE THINKS IT IS THE MOST AMAZING DESSERT THEY HAVE EVER HAD......
