                        ***CRUST***
     1/4  cup           butter
   1      package       oreos
                        ***CHEESECAKE***
   2 1/2  cups          sugar
  43      ounces        cream cheese -- (yes, 43!)
   5                    eggs
  32      ounces        ghirardelli bittersweet
                        chocolate -- (not semisweet!)
  20      ounces        sour cream
   1      tablespoon    vanilla
   2      tablespoons   bailey's irish cream
   2      tablespoons   ghirardelli ground chocolate
                        if unavailable -- use cocoa

Preparation:

CRUST: Mix in food processor. Press into 13 inch springform pan.Set aside. CHEESECAKE: Melt chocolate in double boiler, stirring frequently. Set aside. Beat cream cheese with hand mixer until smooth. Gradually add sugar. Beat until smooth. Add one egg at a time, beating after each egg. Fold in sour cream, melted chocolate, ground chocolate, vanilla and Bailey's. Stir until even consistency. Pour into crust. Bake at 350 F until set, approximately 2 hours for 13". chill thoroughly. This is ungodly rich. Serve in very small wedges. even heavy eaters can't eat much at once, and I have seen a lot of this get thrown away because the person couldn't finish. Don't substitute semi-sweet chocolate or milk chocolate for the bitt
