Ingredients:
For the crust:
2 c. finely crushed Nilla Wafers (from about 60 wafers)
6 tbsp. melted butter
Pinch kosher salt
For the filling:
4 (8 oz) blocks of cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1 c. granulated sugar
3 large eggs
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/4 c. sour cream
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
3/4 c. milk chocolate chips, melted and cooled slightly
For garnish:
1/4 c. caramel
10 mini Snickers, roughly chopped
1/4 roasted salted peanuts, roughly chopped
Directions:
*Preheat oven to 325° and grease an 8" or 9" springform pan with cooking spray. Make crust: In a large bowl, mix together crushed wafers, butter, and salt. Press mixture into bottom of prepared pan and up the sides.
*In a large bowl using a hand mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer), beat cream cheese and sugar until no lumps remain. Add eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla and sour cream. Add flour and salt and beat until just combined. Remove 1 cup of mixture into a medium bowl, then pour half of the rest of the mixture over crust.
*Add melted chocolate to reserved cup of cheesecake mixture and stir to combine. Dollop chocolate mixture over surface of cheesecake and use a butter knife to swirl, then top with remaining plain batter.
*Wrap bottom of pan in aluminum foil and place in a large roasting pan. Pour in enough boiling water to come up halfway in the baking pan.
*Bake until center of cheesecake only slightly jiggles, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Turn off heat, prop open oven door, and let cheesecake cool in oven, 1 hour.
*When ready to serve, remove cheesecake from springform pan and top with a layer of caramel, peanuts, and chopped Snickers.
