About a week or so ago I had a taste for cheesecake. Of course, I didn’t want just a slice of a simple cheesecake! It had to contain something special and I mean really special – like snickers!

These awesome cheesecake bars can be made with any fun-sized candy bars that you have laying around; however, I think they rock with snickers!

After making these, I have so many more different ideas of fun cheesecake bar recipes. You guys are so lucky!

Even though you can use any type of fun-sized candy bars, I think the snickers bring a lot to the table because of all of the chocolate, caramel, and nuts. These bars have a just over-the-top on flavor – you’ll love them.

They are actually very easy to make, but they do require at least 3 hours of chilling time – same kind of chilling time as regular cheesecake would need. Making these the night or even the morning you need them are great – the longer they chill, the better they are.

For the crust you will need unsalted butter and 20 regular Oreos processed in a food processor. That process does not take too long.

For the cheesecake layer, you will need an egg, white granulated sugar 14 fun-sized Snickers, and vanilla extract. Not too many ingredients!

16 ounces (2 packages) cream cheese, softened
¼ cup white granulated sugar
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
14 fun-sized Snickers, chopped tiny pieces

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper or aluminum foil, light grease. Set aside.
Crust - Pulse the Oreo cookies in a food processor into fine crumbs. Add into a medium mixing bowl.
Pour the melted butter into the mixing bowl with the crushed Oreos. Mix together.
Pour the crust into the baking dish, using a large spatula spread out the crust. Make sure it is even all around.
Filling - In a large mixing bowl, cream the cream cheese and egg and mix for 3-5 minutes until it is creamy.
Add in the white granulated sugar and vanilla extract.
Spoon the cheesecake mixture on top of the crust.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheesecake has set-up and the edges are lightly browned.
Allow for the bars to cool for 30 minutes at room temperature and then chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. Overnight is best.
Lift the foil of out the pan and cut into squares.
Store bars in a covered container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator - if they last that long!
