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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
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, Â you should start. Asap!

Layer 4:
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Line a 11 x 7 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.

Pour over the chocolate layer you placed in the freezer earlier. Press the peanuts into the mixture slightly. Pop back in the freezer for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Layer 3:

I just sneaked the last little fun-size Snickers out of my son's Halloween bag. Don't tell.

Are you kidding me? I love cheesecake more than any other dessert! Combine it with snickers and that's one heavenly dessert!
Dionne Baldwin
LOVE this recipe! Snickers remind me of my dad. He used to love Snickers and any bars that made it into the house were confiscated by mom and packed in his lunch. 🙂 I might make a batch of these but I would share!

YUM! That caramel looks heavenly!

I am not a snicker bar partaker. BUT these bars are at a whole other level. I too love all the ingredients.
Decadent----which is a plus in my recipe book.
Alex
Mouth-watering...... So perfect for these rainy days!

How did you do that -- I have never tried these yet I am craving them!
Kim Beaulieu
They are so good, tricky to cut for sure, but worth it. I have another batch in my freezer. They are seriously addictive.
Carol at Wild Goose Tea
Thank you for the forewarning about cutting them while they are at least partially frozen. I bet they are good to eat even when they are frozen. Very special bars-----could be the center piece of your goody part of your table. I like to have an appetizer and goody event during the holidays. There are so many yum yums out there to nibble and taste and go aaaaah about.
Kelsey @ Snacking Squirrel
are you kidding me!? these look outstanding!
Taylor Griffin
this recipe looks like my kind of fabulous! What can be used instead of creamy peanut butter?
Kim Beaulieu
You could try Biscoff (cookie butter). It will taste a bit differently but my guess is it would be amazing in these. Or you could try nutella for a real over the top version. I'm guessing you have peanut allergies. You could try just leaving it out. Maybe add a little hit of vanilla bean for a more natural, earthy bar. That would probably rock and now I actually want to make vanilla bean bars. So don't be surprised if vanilla bean bars hit the blog next month Taylor. Ha
