Description

A delicious dessert combining creamy cheesecake with the rich flavors of Snickers candy bars, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups Oreo crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 cups mini Snickers bars, chopped into eighths
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar (for caramel)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (for caramel)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (for caramel)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (for caramel)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (for caramel)
  • Extra Snickers, chopped (for topping)
  • Optional: chopped peanuts (for topping)
  • Optional: mini chocolate chips (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Spray a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick spray and line the bottom with a parchment circle.
  2. Pulse Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor.
  3. Combine Oreo crumbs and melted butter, then press the mixture into the bottom and halfway up the sides of the pan.
  4. Bake for 12 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow to cool.
  5. Chop 3 cups of mini Snickers bars into eighths.
  6. Beat cream cheese on high for 1 minute until light and fluffy. Add sugar and beat for 1 minute.
  7. Add vanilla, sour cream, and heavy cream, mixing until smooth.
  8. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  9. Gently fold in the chopped Snickers bars.
  10. Optionally, prepare a water bath by either placing the springform pan in a cake pan and filling a roasting pan with hot water halfway up the cake pan, or wrapping the springform pan tightly in foil and placing it in a roasting pan with hot water halfway up the sides.
  11. Bake for 85-95 minutes until the edges are set, and the center slightly jiggles.
  12. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake sit for 30 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  13. Let the cheesecake cool completely, then chill in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight.
  14. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar for the caramel until smooth and amber-colored.
  15. Add butter cubes to the caramel and whisk until melted and bubbly.
  16. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream, then add the salt and vanilla extract.
  17. Let the caramel cool, then pour over the chilled cheesecake.
  18. Top the cheesecake with extra Snickers pieces, peanuts, and mini chocolate chips (optional).
  19. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing. Using a water bath helps the cheesecake cook evenly and prevents cracks.
