Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup granulated sugar
24 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 cup chopped Snickers bars (about 4 full-size bars)
½ cup chocolate sauce
½ cup caramel sauce
½ cup chopped peanuts
2 Snickers bars, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F.
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the sour cream and chopped Snickers bars until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour to cool gradually.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Before serving, drizzle chocolate sauce and caramel sauce over the top. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and garnish with additional chopped Snickers bars.
Notes
For a no-bake version, use a no-bake cheesecake filling and chill until set.
Substitute the Snickers bars with your favorite candy bars like Reese’s or Milky Way for a different flavor twist.
