Instead of mixing the chocolate into the cream cheese mixture, I poured the cream cheese into the pan then poured the chocolate into the top then swirled it with a knife to make a nice design. I also added a 1 3/4 cup bag of chopped walnuts. I put these directly on top of the crust. Tips - Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the rest. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler with butter instead of milt if you're going to make a marble version - it's thicker. Don't just remove the cheescake from the oven after baking it. Turn the oven off, and crack open the door to the first indent. Let it cool slowly (much longer than 15 minutes - 1 to 2 hours BEFORE putting it in the frig), and you'll get less cracks. Place a cookie sheet under the springform pan to support it. Mix the sugar into the cream cheese first before using the mixer, and allow the cream cheese to soften first. Otherwise you can destroy a less powerful mixer pretty quick. Use more butter on the crust mixture, and use more wafers (or I often use chocolate graham crackers). It makes it easier, and less likely to stick to the pan - butter = grease but tasty! A pan of water in with the cheesecake while baking keeps it moister, and helps prevent cracking. Optionally add the juice of a lemon and/or a little lemon zest to add a little zing to it. To add a little flavor, I'll add a little (few tablespoons or so) of a good dark rum.
