Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1.5 cups assorted candy bars (e.g., Snickers, Twix, Milky Way), chopped
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing the sides and bottom.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan to create an even crust. Set aside.
Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup of granulated sugar together on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the sour cream and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and beat until combined.
With the mixer on low speed, add the eggs one at a time, blending just until incorporated after each addition. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped candy bars into the cream cheese filling.
Pour the filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Place the springform pan on a large baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 70-75 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly but the edges are set.
Turn off the oven, crack the oven door slightly, and let the cheesecake cool inside the oven for 1 hour.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Once the cheesecake is fully chilled, prepare the chocolate drizzle. Melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream together in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the cheesecake and add additional chopped candy bars as garnish, if desired.
Slice and serve your candy bar cheesecake chilled. Enjoy this indulgent treat!
