Ingredients

For the Crust

  • 2 cups crushed pretzels
  • 3/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar

For the Filling

  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 8 oz packages cream cheese room temperature
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 Tbs. flour
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 2-3 Tbs. nut topping

Instructions

For the Crust

  • Stir pretzels, butter and brown sugar together in a small bowl.
  • Pour into greased 8 inch springform pan.
  • Use the back of a spoon to press crumbs down to form crust on bottom of pan.

  • Melt chocolate chips in microwave 1 minute. Stir and microwave 30 seconds at a time, stirring between until melted and smooth.

  • Pour into springform pan over crust.
  • Pour 2-3 cups water into bottom of slow cooker.
