Turtle Cheesecake

This is a pecan, caramel, and dark chocolate cheesecake, inspired by the Turtle candies. Though somewhat modified, the original recipe can be found here: Ultimate turtle cheesecake. The main modification is that I've made the caramel from scratch. Enjoy!

$What you\$

Caramel sauce:

250 mL (1 cup) granulated white sugar
1 - 6 cm cube salted butter (roughly half a standard stick of butter; margarine doesn't substitute well)
125 mL (1/2 cup) whipping cream
~150 mL water

Cake

3 - 8 oz. packages cream cheese - room temperature (light works okay too)
500 mL (2 cups) chocolate cookie crumbs
~ 175 mL melted butter (margarine is fine here)
250 mL (1 cup) chopped pecans
200 mL (3/4 cup) white sugar
25 mL vanilla extract (please don't substitute)
3 eggs
one quarter of a 100 g bar of dark chocolate (I like bittersweet, but semi-sweet works too)
