How to Make Candy Bar Cheesecake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Combine 1 ½ cups chocolate wafer crumbs, ½ cup chopped peanuts, and ¼ cup melted margarine. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9x3 inch springform pan.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 2 (8 ounce) packages of cream cheese with ½ cup granulated sugar and ¼ cup packed brown sugar until smooth and creamy (about 6-7 minutes).
  4. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Beat in ¼ cup heavy whipping cream.
  6. Pour batter over the prepared crust.
  7. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 15 minutes to prevent cracking.
  8. Carefully remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. Once cooled, run a metal spatula around the edges of the cheesecake to loosen it from the pan.
  10. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
  11. While the cheesecake chills, prepare the Snickers sauce: Melt 2 (2.1 ounce) Snickers bars in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth.
  12. Stir in ½ cup heavy whipping cream until smooth and creamy.
  13. Transfer the sauce to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  14. Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer to a serving plate.
  15. Top with the chilled Snickers sauce and serve immediately.
  16. Optional: For a chocolate crumb crust, substitute 1 ½ cups chocolate wafer crumbs for the chocolate and peanut crust.
