Look at that and the caramel will go down into the chocolate then we will add our walnuts on top and we will refrigerate this for about 30 minutes. We'll let the cake totally set up make sure the chocolate is set up before you slice into it, other wise again you'll have a mess. The pecans make sure there chopped up fairly fine if you have large pieces and you slice into it the pecan will go right through the cheesecake, so you want it diced like this, chopped like this rather and I'm just going to put these babies around the center like so. If you want a little more caramel on top for affect also to lock down the walnuts that's fine. And there you have it now we will refrigerate this for at least 30 minutes make sure the chocolate is set up and then I'll show you proper slicing technique and then we'll have a taste."
