Yield:

1 9-inch cheesecake

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Mix crushed Oreos and butter together until well combined; press onto the bottom and 2 inches up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
Microwave caramels and milk in a microwave-safe bowl on high until caramels are completely melted and mixture is well blended, about 3 minutes, stirring after each minute. Stir in nuts. Pour 1/2 of the mixture into the crust and refrigerate for 10 minutes. Refrigerate the remaining mixture separately.
Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla with an electric mixer until blended. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Pour into crust over caramel layer.
Bake in the preheated oven until the center is almost set, 65 to 70 minutes. Run a knife around the rim of the pan to loosen cake; cool before removing the rim. Refrigerate for 4 hours.
Microwave reserved caramel mixture for 1 minute, then stir. Pour over cheesecake, then drizzle melted chocolate over top.

Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) if using a dark nonstick springform pan.
