HOW TO MAKE SNICKERS MINI CHEESECAKES, STEP BY STEP:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a standard sized muffin tin with paper liners. Set aside.
2. Combine the Oreo crumbs and butter in a small mixing bowl until well mixed.
3. Add 2 Tablespoons of the Oreo mixture to your cupcake liners and use the back of a small glass or your hands to press the crust down into the liners.
4. Bake the crusts in the oven for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven to cool while preparing the cheesecake filling.
5. Use an electric mixer on medium high speed to blend the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth.
6. Mix in the granulated sugar, flour, and vanilla extract.
7. Add in the eggs to the cream cheese mixture, one at a time, until incorporated.
8. Fold in 1 cup the chopped Snickers.
9. Fill cooled paper liners ¾ full with the cheesecake filling.
10. Return the baking pan to the oven and bake the cheesecakes for 15 minutes.
11. Once they have finished baking, turn the oven off and keep the door closed for 8 minutes. Then crack the door open and allow the cheesecakes to cool in the oven for 5 minutes.
12. Transfer the cheesecakes to a wire rack and top each cheesecake with the remaining chopped Snickers.
13. Once the cheesecakes have come to room temperature transfer them to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1-2 hours before serving to set.

CAN THIS RECIPE BE DOUBLED?

Absolutely! We love doubling this recipe, especially when we are bringing these to gatherings.

You can use a 24 cup muffin tin, or two 12 cup muffin tins for this. You may have to bake slightly longer if you are baking more at the same time.

Just check the doneness and make sure that they are not super jiggly in the middle.

WHAT OTHER CANDY BARS CAN I USE IN THIS MINI CHEESECAKE RECIPE?

If you are looking to switch it up from Snickers, this recipe can absolutely be adapted. Some other great candy bars that we love include:

1. Milky Way
2. Twix
3. Kit Kat
4. Almond Joy
5. Reese’s
6. 3 Musketeers

DO I HAVE TO USE OREOS AS THE CRUST?

If you are not an Oreo fan, you can use chocolate graham crackers for the crust as well.

If you want to eliminate the chocolate crust you can use regular graham crackers or vanilla wafers for the crust too.

WHAT IS THE BEST CREAM CHEESE TO USE IN CHEESECAKES?

If you want that rich and creamy flavor and texture, then you will absolutely want to use full fat cream cheese. This also includes full fat sour cream.

I would not skimp on that, that is what makes cheesecake cheesecake if you know what I mean.

HOW TO STORE:

These can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container where they will keep for up to 4-5 days in the refrigerator.

They can also be frozen, to do this I would not top your cheesecakes with anything and leave them plain. Place in a freezer safe container and they will keep for up to 3 months.

To defrost, remove to the refrigerator until thawed. Then top with your toppings and serve.

TIPS AND TRICKS:

• You can easily double this recipe to make more for a crowd.
• Other candy bars can be used, see some ideas above.
• Make sure that these come to room temperature before you refrigerate them.
• You can use other ingredients as the crust for this recipe, see above for ideas.
• The toppings are optional, but highly encouraged.
• These can be frozen, see above on how to do that.
• Make sure that you are using full fat cream cheese and sour cream in this recipe.
• Add your eggs in one at a time until each are fully incorporated.
