I love chocolate.
I love cheesecake.
I love caramel.
I love peanuts.
I love more chocolate.
Most of all I love Snickers Bars.
If we have any Snickers in the house they never last long. It's one of my favourite chocolate bars. Since I was young. So I've loved them for a LONG time.
So when I was baking the other day I decided to make homemade Snickers Bars. I was on a serious cheesecake kick so I knew I wanted to make the filling with a touch of cream cheese. So I did.
The result is an amazingly rich and over the top dessert. It is so tasty you are not going to be able to resist it.
They are messy so go into making them knowing that!!
Anyone who makes these and is able to cut them perfectly must have frozen theirs completely. If you don't cut them while frozen it results in a total mess.
My suggestion is to score them while not quite frozen, then cut them with a warm, sharp knife once they are frozen. That way you get perfect bars.
Keep frozen until shortly before you want to serve them. Then pop them in the fridge to keep them cold so they don't get soften up too much.
I love these bars and I hope you do too. You can also find the recipe for these Snickers Cheesecake Bars over at Real Housemoms. I'm a former contributor there.
I loved being part of Aubrey's team but had to scale back my workload. Be sure to peek around while you're there. There are so many amazing ideas on her blog.
These are a riff on my friend Roxana's Homemade Snickers Bar Recipe. She made Homemade Snickers Bars for Imperial Sugar some time ago and I just fell in love with her photos.
So I knew at some point I would be trying her recipe. Roxana is seriously talented in the kitchen. If you don't follow her blog, A trEATs Affair, you should start. Asap!

This year, I have been totally hogging all the snickers candy bars (and I should not be eating candy) from the leftover Halloween candy. I have never loved snickers more and now I can totally drool and crave this cheesecake. Ahhhhhh!

It's impossible to actually have Snickers bars in the house. Yes, you'll buy them and bring them home, but if you're like us, they instantly disappear. Instantly. Must be a black hole or something. 🙂 Terrific recipe -- thanks.
