Unwrap caramels; combine caramels and milk in heavy saucepan: cook over low heat until melted, stirring often. Pour over graham cracker crust; sprinkle with pecans evenly over caramel layer, and set aside.
Beat cream cheese at high speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy; gradually add sugar, mixing well. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and chocolate; beat until blended. spoon over pecan layer.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and run knife around edge of pan to release sides. Let cool to room temperature on wire rack; cover and chill at least 8 hours.
When ready to serve, remove from pan. Arrange pecan halves around top edge of cheesecake.
