Ingredients

Before we roll up our sleeves and get to mixing, let’s gather all the stars of our cheesecake show:

Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup sugar

Cheesecake Layer:

• 16 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup chopped Snickers bars
• 1/2 cup pink M&Ms

Topping:

• Whipped cream (optional)
• Additional chopped Snickers bars and pink M&Ms for garnish

Directions

Step 1: Prepping the Crust

1. Mix the Crust Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar until well blended.
2. Press the Mixture: Firmly press this mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Be sure it’s even, as this will be the foundation of our masterpiece!

Step 2: Making the Cheesecake Filling

3. Blend the Cream Cheese: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
4. Add Sugar & Vanilla: Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
5. Incorporate Eggs: Add the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully blended before adding the next.
6. Sour Cream & Snickers: Mix in the sour cream, then fold in the chopped Snickers and pink M&Ms. Feel free to snag a few candies for yourself during this step—no judgment here!

Step 3: Baking the Cheesecake

7. Bake: Pour the filling over the crust in the springform pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 55-65 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
8. Cool Down: Once baked, turn off the oven and crack the door, letting the cheesecake cool in the oven to prevent cracking. After an hour, transfer it to the fridge to chill completely for at least 4 hours (or overnight if you can wait!).

Step 4: Final Touches

9. Garnish: When you’re ready to serve, top with whipped cream and sprinkle additional chopped Snickers and pink M&Ms for that final touch of pizzazz!

Cooking Tips

• No Cracks Here: To ensure your cheesecake stays smooth and crack-free, remember not to overbeat the eggs. Just mix until combined!
• Chill Out: Patience is key—allow your cheesecake plenty of chilling time. The flavors will deepen and the texture will set beautifully.
• Leftover Love: Got leftovers? Store them in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Just try not to eat the whole thing in one go—it’s harder than it sounds!
