I have a recipe for chocolate cheesecake I want to try for ValentineÂs Day. It was demonstrated in a chocolate class I took the other day. It calls for 2 cups of chocolate cookie crumbs for the crust. The only plain chocolate cookie I can find in the store is $ 6 a boxÂa very small box!.

Any idea what else I could use? Regular graham cracker crumbs doesnÂt seem right.

The teacher said you can use oreos. He said to keep the white filling in, that adding it would help to keep the crumbs together. (other recipes I have use melted butter for that, but this recipe doesnÂt call for butter).

But considering how sweet oreo filling is, wouldnÂt that throw off the recipe?
