Chocolate Cheesecake

I can't get enough chocolate lately... I've been wanting to try this recipe for a while. I finally did it today. It's Hershey's Best Loved Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe.  The recipe was a little vague in some parts. Like it says to mix a 1/2 stick of butter with the cookie crumbs. Softened? Melted? What?...  And it says 3 packages cream cheese, but not what size package. So I made it with the big packages.  I do not own a Springform Pan. So, I made it with this pan. I do want to get a springform pan though...  For future cheesecakes. :)
