Instructions

Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well combined and the crumbs are moistened.
Form the crust: Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish to create an even crust layer. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
Beat cream cheese: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add sugar and vanilla: Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, beating until well combined and smooth.
Whip the heavy cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.
Incorporate Snickers and caramel: Fold in the chopped Snickers bars and caramel sauce gently, reserving some pieces and caramel for the topping.
Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula for a neat finish.
Chill to set: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to firm up and the flavors to meld.
Add toppings: Before serving, drizzle the cheesecake with the reserved caramel sauce and melted chocolate chips, then sprinkle the remaining chopped Snickers bars on top for extra texture and flavor.
Serve: Slice the cheesecake and enjoy this decadent, no-bake dessert that combines creamy richness with chocolate and caramel crunch.

Notes

Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing and a smoother filling.
Chilling time is crucial to firm up the cheesecake; overnight refrigeration yields the best results.
Use mini Snickers bars for easier chopping and better distribution throughout the cheesecake.
Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to maintain a light, airy texture.
If caramel sauce is too thick to drizzle, warm it slightly to make it more pourable.
This cheesecake is best served cold and stored in the refrigerator.
