Caramel Fudge Cheesecake

For my mother-in-law's 'Over the Hill' birthday party I tried this new recipe. All I can say is wow, wow, wow!! It was amazing! Everyone was commenting on how it was the best cheesecake they have ever had. I am not trying to brag...but I really think it was better then The Cheesecake Factory. I can't take credit for the recipe. The Taste of Home always has amazing recipes. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!

(Taste of Home)

1 package fudge brownie mix (8-inch square pan size)
1 package (14 ounces) caramels
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1 1/4 cups coarsely chopped pecans
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 squares (1 ounce each) semisweet chocolate, melted
2 squares (1 ounce each) unsweetened chocolate, melted

Prepare brownie batter according to the package directions. Spread into a greased 9-in. springform pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack. Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, melt caramels with milk. Pour over brownie crust; sprinkle with pecans. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and sugar; mix well. Add eggs, beating on low speed just until combined. Stir in melted chocolate. Pour over pecans. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until the center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool completely. Chill overnight. Remove sides of pan before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator. Yield: 12 servings.

A Child Again

Do you ever wish you could go back to being a child again, have the same energy, and a 'worry free' look on life? Becky and I thought we were just going to bring the boys to to have a fun day at Bounce Jungle, but we found that it was a good reminder for us to have a little more fun too!

Bounce Jungle is exactly what the name suggests, a jungle of bouncey air with slides, ladders, and fun obstacles to climb through!

The slippery slides give your tummy butterflies!

Becky and her little boy going down the big slide together! Bombs away!

Me and my two year old heading down the slide too. Kinda freaky!

Becky's little boy in utter delight!

Becky's one year old climbing!

The morning ended with Becky and I letting our inner gladiator loose. Becky insists she won the battle, but this photo cleary shows otherwise! :)
