"A recipe slightly modified from a Hershey's cookbook. VERY rich, but surprisingly simple to make. You do not necessarily need a springform pan for this dish but it makes for nicer presentation. ENJOY!"

I changed the crust to oreo cookie crumbs, but otherwise followed exactly. This was delicious and was a huge success at the pot-luck I took it too.
