Candy Bar Cheesecake Recipe

Prep: 25 min. Bake: 1-1/4 hours + cooling

Yield: 12-14 Servings

25 75 100

Ingredients

1-3/4 cups crushed chocolate wafers (about 28 wafers)
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
FILLING:
3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup chocolate syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 eggs, lightly beaten
6 Snickers candy bars (2.07 ounces each), coarsely chopped, divided
Additional chocolate syrup

Directions

In a small bowl, combine wafer crumbs and sugar; stir in butter. Press onto the bottom and 1-1/2 in. up the sides of a greased 9-in. springform pan. Place pan on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 18 in. square); securely wrap foil around pan. Place pan on a baking sheet. Bake at 325° for 12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, milk, chocolate syrup and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs; beat just until combined. Stir in 2-1/2 cups chopped candy bars. Pour into crust. Place springform pan in a large baking pan; add 1 in. of hot water to larger pan.
Bake at 325° for 75-80 minutes or until center is just set and top appears dull. Remove springform pan from water bath. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight.
Top with remaining chopped candy bars; drizzle with additional chocolate syrup. Yield: 12-14 servings.

@ coloradopeak: I also live in Colorado, here are some thing that work for me. I use chocolate gramcrakers from King Soopers (cheaper and easier to find). I place my 9 inch springform pan in a 10 inch cake pan (instead of foil around the bottom of springform pan) then place in water bath. When the cheesecake timer goes off I turn off oven and leave cheesecake in oven for a couple of hours, it seams to set better. I hope theese help.

I never can find choc graham crackers so I asked a baker at whole foods and she told me to use choc. oreo cookies. Just put the in a food processor and add a couple tbls of melted butter and 3 tbls of sugar. Instead of baking I put it in the frig for 10 minutes to harden and the taste is perfect.

I made this recipe for a going away party and everyone loved it. I do have a problem with recipes that you have to bake in a water bath. My first problem is that I cook it for over 75 minutes and it still seems too soft or mushy to me; also, even though I put foil around the pan it still seems to wet the crust. I live in Colorado and wonder if it has anything to do with the altitude? Can anyone help me solve my problem?

The first time I made this cheesecake I knew it was the one! The only troubles I have with it are finding the chocolate wafers/cookies for the crust. I am making it again today only using gram cracker crust and Milky Way because I have an aunt that really wants to try it but she has peanut allergies. I'm sure it will still taste just a good!
