Instructions

Prepare the Crust:
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press into a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and set aside to cool.
Make the Filling:
Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and beat until incorporated. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla, sour cream, and heavy cream. Mix until smooth. Gently fold in chopped Snickers bars.
Bake the Cheesecake:
Pour filling over crust. Bake at 325°F for 55–65 minutes, or until center is just set. Turn off oven and let cheesecake sit inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
Cool and Chill:
Remove cheesecake, cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Add the Topping:
Before serving, top with chopped Snickers, drizzle with caramel sauce, and sprinkle with peanuts. Add whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Use a water bath to help prevent cracking.
Cheesecake freezes well—wrap tightly and freeze for up to 1 month.
Allow toppings to cool before adding for a clean finish.
