As much as I love to be in the kitchen, I will admit that I can be a little lazy sometimes.  I don’t always have an infinite amount of time and so that is why I love a good no-bake dessert.  The best part about this recipe is that you can swap out the candy bar for whatever you or your family like.  The options are pretty endless, I can’t wait to see what I can come up with next.

Now you could absolutely use a store bought Oreo crust but I decided to go ahead and make one myself.  They are so simple if you have a food processor.  Make sure you have a fine crumb.

Then I added the melted butter and turned the food processor on for just a few more seconds.

Turn the mixture out into a spring form pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray.  Using your finger tips press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of the pan until it is nice and compacted.  Refrigerate for about 15 minutes.

Now it is time to assemble.  Add 1/4 cup of caramel sauce to the bottom of the crust.

Then chopped peanuts.

Before making the cheesecake mixture, chop 3 Snickers bars.

For the cheesecake mixture, mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar and caramel sauce.  Once that is just combined, add the Cool Whip and mix it in {being sure to do it slowly because you don’t want to completely deflate it}.  Finally, add the chopped Snickers bars.

Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared crust and spread it out into an even layer.

OPTIONAL:  Add a couple of tablespoons of chocolate {I used the kind that hardens} and a few more chopped peanuts.  Refrigerate for at least a couple of  hours.

Once set up, remove the outside ring from the pan and cut into wedges.

Look at all of that glorious goodness!!  I can’t wait to surprise the birthday boy with what I think will be his new FAVORITE dessert.  This would also be the perfect dessert for your sweetie on Valentine’s Day.  After all, the way to someone’s heart is through their sweet tooth.  Enjoy!
