For best results, use high-quality caramel candies for a richer flavor. Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the cheesecake batter. To prevent the crust from burning, you can cover the edges of the springform pan with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking. If the top of the cheesecake starts to brown too quickly, tent it loosely with foil. Allowing the cheesecake to cool slowly in the oven with the door ajar can also help prevent cracking.
