Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press into a 9×13-inch dish, bake for 8 minutes, then let cool.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Layer

Step 5: Add Topping & Chill

Drizzle caramel sauce on top and sprinkle with pecan halves. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight before slicing.
