Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300°F.

Step 2

Crush the pretzels. I did this in the food processor which gave me about 2 cups of crumbs. If you don't crush them as finely, you'll probably have something closer to 3 cups which is also fine.

Step 3

Combine the crumbs, sugar, and butter for the crust and press firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9 inch springform pan. Sprinkle with the chocolate chips and bake for about ten minutes or until chocolate chips are melted. Spread around with an offset spatula (a spoon will also work if you don't have an offset spatula). Put the crust in the freezer while you prepare the filling.

Step 4

Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar until combined. Add the vanilla and eggs beating just until combined. Pour into chilled crust.

Step 5

Bake for about 40 minutes. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and sprinkle on the M&Ms. Continue baking for another 40 minutes (or until the cheesecake is set about 1 1/2 inches from the side, it might take a little longer. Don't worry though,it will still be a smashing success).

Step 6

Turn off the oven and open it about 4 inches. Allow the cheesecake to stay in the oven for about 30 more minutes (this helps the cheesecake to cool slowly and prevents cracking). Remove the cheesecake from the oven and cool 30 more minutes. Refrigerate six hours or overnight.

Serve with whipped cream and more M&Ms
