SNICKERS BAR CHEESECAKE
Yield: 12 servings
1 pk (9-oz) chocolate wafer cookies
4 tb Butter, melted
3 pk (8-oz) cream cheese, softened
1 c Sugar
4 Eggs
1 tb Vanilla extract
2 c Heavy cream
1-1/2 lb Snack-size Snickers bars; each cut into sixths
Yummy Fudge Topping (see separate recipe)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a food processor, grind cookies into fine crumbs. Add butter and process until well blended. Press into bottom and about 1 inch up sides of a 9-1/2-or 10-inch springform pan. In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese and sugar with an electic mixer on medium speed until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat in vanilla and 1 cup cream; beat 3 to 4 minutes. Fold in 1-1/2 cups cut-up Snickers pieces. Turn into a crumb-lined pan. Bake 1 hour and 15 to 25 minutes, or until cheesecake is almost set but center still jiggles slightly. Let cool to room temperature. Sprinkle remaining candy pieces over top of cheesecake. Refrigerate at least 4 to 5 hours before serving. Run a knife around edge of pan to loosen cake and remove springform side of pan. Just before serving, drizzle Yummy Fudge Topping over cake. Whip remaining 1 cup of cream until stiff and spoon a dollop over each slice.

Yummy Fudge Topping
12 oz. bag of chocolate chips (or 11 oz. bag of milk chocolate chips)
--or you can mix them 1/2 of each bag together if you want
1 C. heavy cream.
Microwave the cream 1 min. til steamy; pour in the chips and let it set for about 1 minute. Then stir the chips and cream together until perfectly smooth. You may possibly need to microwave the mixture another 15-20 sec. or so, depending upon the wattage of your microwave. BE SURE NOT TO SCORCH!
This produces a wonderfully thick fudgy topping for the Snicker Bar cheesecake, or ice cream sundaes, or banana splits, or peanut butter pies.
