Ingredients

1/3 cup pecan halves, divided
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 Tbsp. butter, melted
1/2 cup plus 1 Tbsp. packed brown sugar, divided
1-1/2 pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese (12 oz.), softened
1 egg
12 KRAFT Caramels
2 Tbsp. milk

Steps:

Heat oven to 325°F.
Reserve 24 pecan halves for later use. Finely chop remaining nuts; place in medium bowl. Add graham crumbs, butter and 1 Tbsp. sugar; mix well. Press onto bottoms of 24 paper-lined mini muffin cups, adding about 1/2 Tbsp. crumb mixture to each cup.
Beat cream cheese and remaining sugar in small bowl with mixer until blended. Add egg; beat just until blended. Spoon over crusts, adding about 1 Tbsp. batter to each cup.
Bake 12 to 14 min. or until centers of cheesecakes are almost set. Cool completely.
Refrigerate 1 hour.
Microwave caramels and milk in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 min. or until caramels are completely melted, stirring every 30 sec. Drizzle about 1/2 tsp. caramel sauce over each cheesecake. Top with reserved nuts.
