Snickers Cheesecake – An incredibly creamy cheesecake loaded with chopped Snickers bars and topped with rich chocolate ganache. It’s the best way to use up leftover candy from Halloween, Valentine’s Day, or Easter!

In July, for my one-year anniversary, I reached out to you guys for recipes that you want to see in year two. You guys had some incredible ideas, but one really stood out to me: cheesecake!

I have not made a cheesecake in YEARS. I made these cheesecake bars last fall but not a full, traditional cheesecake.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed but I don’t make a whole lot of full cakes or pies. I am much bigger fan of making bars or bites or cupcakes.

There are two reasons for this: (1) they are so much easier to make and (2) they’re much more fun to serve a crowd. I loath the first cut of any pie or cake because it never comes out perfectly. So I just cut out that fear by making the food into rectangular or square shapes.

Which reminds me…stay tuned for a slab pie. It only seems right for me to feature one so I’ll try to get one to you this fall/winter.

Okay, back to the cheesecake.

When you all requested a cheesecake, I just new I had to get one on the blog. The holidays are coming up so I knew a cheesecake would be the perfect treat to serve at Thanksgiving or Christmas.

And with Halloween just around the corner, too, I wanted to feature a cheesecake that you can make with all that leftover candy.

Behold…the Snickers Cheesecake!
