Hershey's Best Loved Chocolate Cheesecake

Please ignore the fact that my cheesecake cracked

It always cracks you could try using a water bath as it's cooking,

but that doesn't always change the outcome.

My cheesecake cracked afterit came out of the over.

Nevertheless, the creacking doesn't change the flavor

it's nice and creamy, inexpensive, and easy to make!!
