Ghiradelli Chocolate-Swirled Cheesecake

Okay, I haven't exactly been the best Weight Watchers member lately, but I've done some pretty exciting and delectable culinary experiments...like this one: a Ghiradelli chocolate-swirled cheesecake.

I was on a cheesecake kick a few weeks ago, and this was one of the things I concocted.  Really, I just wanted to use my new spring-form pan...

Basically, I used the cheesecake part from my red velvet cheesecake, posted a few weeks ago.  In addition, I made my own crust.

Crust Ingredients and Directions
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup melted butter

Mix the crumbs and butter together. Press firmly and evenly on to the bottom of a spring-form pan. 

Then...pour about 3/4 of the cheesecake mixture on top of the crust.  Then, pour a box of
Ghiradelli-brand chocolate brownies mix, prepared according to directions. Add the last bit of cheesecake, and swirl the two together with a fork.

Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes.

It should come out looking like this...

And you should eat it. Immediately.

I've made it three times already, and it has been devoured. Every.Single.Time. (And not just by me...)
