Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 2 cups Oreo crumbs
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 ounces cream cheese, room temperature (three 8-ounce packages)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 4 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 30-35 mini Snickers bars, chopped

Sauces & Toppings

  • 1/4 cup chocolate sauce
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce
  • Whipped cream (Homemade Whipped Cream recipe)
  • Additional chocolate sauce (such as Smucker’s Chocolate Sundae Syrup)
  • Additional caramel sauce (such as Smucker’s Caramel Sundae Syrup)
  • Additional chopped mini Snickers bars


Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine the Oreo crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the cheesecake batter: In a large bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar and flour, beating until well combined. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Mix in sour cream and vanilla extract until the batter is fully blended and smooth.
  3. Add Snickers bars: Fold the chopped mini Snickers bars gently into the cheesecake batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without overmixing.
  4. Assemble the cheesecake: Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the prepared crust. Drizzle half of the chocolate and caramel sauces over the batter. Then layer the remaining batter on top. Drizzle with the remaining chocolate and caramel sauces.
  5. Bake the cheesecake: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles when gently shaken.
  6. Cool and chill: Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour to cool gradually. Remove from oven and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
  7. Add toppings and serve: Before serving, top the cheesecake with homemade whipped cream, additional drizzles of chocolate and caramel sauce, and sprinkle with more chopped mini Snickers bars. Slice carefully and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure a smooth, creamy cheesecake batter.
  • Allow the cheesecake to cool gradually to prevent cracking.
  • Chilling the cheesecake overnight improves texture and flavor melding.
  • Feel free to substitute mini Snickers bars with your favorite candy bars for variety.
  • Homemade whipped cream adds the freshest taste but store-bought can also be used.
