- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

- 1/2 cup chopped Snickers bars (for topping)
- 1/4 cup chocolate sauce or hot fudge
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust:
- Mix Crust Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press Into Pan: Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan or pie dish, creating a firm, even layer.
- Chill Crust: Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- Beat Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add Sugars and Vanilla: Mix in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Whip Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Fold in Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Add Snickers and M&M’s: Fold in the chopped Snickers bars and mini M&M’s.
- Fill Crust: Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Chill the Cheesecake:
- Refrigerate: Cover and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until set. Overnight is best for the flavors to meld.
- Prepare the Topping:
- Chop Snickers: Chop additional Snickers bars into small pieces.
- Prepare Sauces: If needed, warm the chocolate and caramel sauces slightly to make them easier to drizzle.
- Assemble and Serve:
- Top Cheesecake: Once the cheesecake is set, spread the mini M&M’s and chopped Snickers bars evenly over the top.
- Drizzle Sauces: Drizzle the chocolate sauce and caramel sauce over the cheesecake.
- Serve: Slice and enjoy!
