Snickers Cheesecake Bars

By JacqueDavison

Ingredients

• Crust
• 20 Oreos (Double Stuf or Regular)
• 5 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• Filling
• 16 ounces cream cheese (2 standard packages), softened to room temperature
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 13 fun size snickers, chopped (about 1.5 cups total)*
• 1/3 cup milk chocolate chips, optional

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line a 8x8 or 9x9 baking pan with aluminum foil with enough overhang on the sides. Set aside.
For the crust: In a food processor or blender, pulse the whole Oreos into a fine crumb. Stir the cookie crumbs and melted butter together in a medium sized bowl. Press into the lined pan. Bake for 9-10 minutes. Allow to cool as you prepare the filling.
For the filling: Beat cream cheese, egg, sugar, and vanilla extract together with a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy, about 3 full minutes. Fold in the Snickers and spread the mixture over your cooled crust. Top with chocolate chips. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheesecake has set up and the edges are lightly browned. Allow to cool completely in the refrigerator for at least three hours. Lift the foil out of the pan and cut into squares.
