Ingredients
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup sour cream
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups Snickers bars, chopped
1 cup pink M&Ms
1/2 cup Snickers bars, chopped (for topping)
Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C), grease a 9-inch springform pan, and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, then eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract and salt. Mix until the batter is creamy and well combined.
- Fold in 1 1/2 cups of chopped Snickers bars.
- Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top.
- Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
- Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, top with pink M&Ms, additional chopped Snickers, and optional whipped cream.
Notes
Can be made ahead and tastes even better the next day.
Store covered in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze individual slices for longer storage.
Let slices come to room temperature for 15–20 minutes before serving for best texture.
No water bath needed—cooling slowly in the oven prevents cracks.
Full-fat cream cheese is recommended for best texture and richness.
