Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs resemble wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Bake for about 10 minutes until set and lightly golden. Let it cool.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until creamy and smooth. Gradually add the sugar and beat well. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing until blended after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and heavy cream, mixing until just combined.
  4. Pour the cheesecake mixture into the cooled crust, smoothing the top.
Baking
  1. Place the pie in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. The edges should be set, and the center will still be a little wobbly.
  2. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
Chilling and Serving
  1. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  2. Top your cheesecake with the chopped Snickers, drizzle with caramel sauce, and sprinkle with peanuts. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Make the cheesecake a day in advance for deeper flavors. Try different candy bars for variations. For cleaner slices, dip your knife in warm water before cutting.
