Brownie Caramel Cheesecake

I got this recipe off the internet. I can't remember where, but it says it was submitted by Jackie Meiborg.

1 pkg (9 oz) brownie mix
3 eggs, divided
1 Tbsp cold water
1 pkg (14 oz) individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
1 can (5 oz) evaporated milk
2 pkg (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1/2 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 c chocolate fudge topping

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom of a 9" springform pan. In a sm bowl, mix together brownie mix, 1 egg, and water. Spread into the greased pan. Bake for 25 min.

Melt the caramels with the evaporated milk over low heat in a heavy saucepan. Stir often, and heat til mixture has a smooth consistency. Reserve 1/3 c of caramel mixture and pour the remainder over the warm, baked brownie crust.

In lg bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer til smooth. Add remaining 2 eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Pour cream cheese mixture over caramel mixture.

Bake cheesecake for 40 min. Chill in pan. When cake is throroughly chilled, loosen by running a knife around the edge, and then remove the rim of the pan.

Heat reserved caramel mixture and spoon over cheesecake. Drizzle with the chocolate topping.

Makes 12 servings.
