"This is a recipe I made up on the fly. I had made a full size German Chocolate Cheesecake and it was very good. People said it was awesome, but you couldn't eat a big piece because it was so rich. So, I decided to modify a popular cheesecake tart recipe and came up with this. I hope you enjoy it."

I can't believe I didn't rate these. these are so awesome. I couldn't believe how easy these are to make. I brought these to work and people were looking for more. Everyone wanted the recipe. They're definetly better cold. If they sit out too long, they begin to get a little soggy. I will be making these often. Thanks for a great recipe!

These were really good and very easy to make. I got had some left over mini chocolate chips so I tossed them into the batter. They were quite yummy! The pecan sandies make a great easy crust. The cheese cake itself was really delicious. You could quite easily leave of the German choc frosting and they would still be great. Thanks Brina
