Rocky road lovers, cheesecake lovers, and chocolate addicts unite! This Rocky Road Cheesecake recipe is full of all of those flavors ad textures that you love. The crispy Oreo crust is filled with smooth, rich chocolate cheesecake and then topped with pecans, marshmallows, Milky Way candy bars, and more chocolate.

Chocolate overload, anyone?

What's a Bain Marie?

The Bain Marie is imperative for a smooth, rich texture. It is merely a water bath that you make by putting the springform pan in a bigger, high sided pan and filling the larger pan halfway up with water. Use warm water and make sure all of your ingredients are at a warm room temperature if possible.

And, like all cheesecakes, I feel this one has the best texture when it has chilled for 8 hours at least.
