Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate morsels; 2 (3-ounce) packages ladyfingers; 1 (13-ounce) jar hazelnut spread; 20 individually wrapped caramel candies; 2 1/3 cups whipping cream; 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans; 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar plus 2 tablespoons; 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened; 2 tablespoons crème de cacao; 3 (1-ounce) semisweet chocolate baking squares

Microwave chocolate morsels on high for 90 seconds or until melted, stirring at 30 second intervals; cool 5 minutes, and set aside.
Split ladyfingers, and stand halves around edge of a 9-inch springform pan, placing rounded sides against pan; line bottom of pan with remaining halves. Reserve remaining ladyfingers for another use. Spread hazelnut spread evenly over ladyfingers on bottom of pan.

Beat 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar and cream cheese in a medium bowl at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add crème de cacao; beat until blended. Beat in melted morsels until blended.
Beat remaining 2 cups whipping cream in a medium bowl at medium speed with an electric mixer until stiff; fold into cream cheese mixture, and spoon evenly over caramel layer in pan.
Shave baking squares with a vegetable peeler evenly on top. Sprinkle evenly with 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar. Chill 1 hour before serving.
