Ingredients

For the Crust

2 cups Oreo or chocolate graham cracker crumbs
3 Tbsp granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
6 Tbsp unsalted butter melted

For the Filling

2 1/2 blocks (20 oz) original cream cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups whipping cream + 1/2 cup powdered sugar beaten until stiff peaks form OR 1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip
2 Tbsp water
1 1/2 tsp powdered gelatin
1/2 cup Snickers candy chopped
2 Tbsp caramel sauce homemade or store-bought

For the Topping

1/2 cup roasted peanuts
2 Tbsp caramel sauce homemade or store-bought
1 Tbsp fudge sauce (optional)
1/3 cup Snickers candy chopped

Instructions

To make the crust, in a medium size mixing bowl combine the Oreo crumbs, granulated sugar and salt. Pour the melted butter over top and stir until a soft wet mixture forms. Firmly press into a standard size pie plate or a 9-inch spring form pan. Chill for 2 hours before adding the filling.
Meanwhile, let your cream cheese and sour cream warm on the counter for at least 30 minutes before using.
In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large mixing bowl) beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream, salt, and vanilla, mix until combined.
In a small bowl mix the water along with the gelatin, then place in the microwave and heat for 25 seconds.
Remove and whisk for 30 seconds, then allow to cool for 2 minutes.
On low speed, beat in the gelatin, then fold in the whipped cream. Add the Snickers chunks and fold in. Pour half of the filling into the crust, drizzle 1 tablespoon caramel sauce over top, then carefully swirl into the filling. Add the remaining filling and repeat with the remaining caramel. Spread into an even layer. Top with peanuts, caramel, fudge (if desired) and Snickers chunks. Chill for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving, preferably overnight.

Notes

-Recipe makes one 9" cheesecake.

-You can omit the gelatin if you want to. I’ve made no-bake cheesecakes without it before and they turn out great, just slightly less stiff.
