  8. Bake for 50–60 minutes or until center is set and edges are lightly browned.
  9. Turn off oven, crack the door open, and let cheesecake cool in oven for 1 hour.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully chilled.
  11. Before serving, drizzle with chocolate syrup and more caramel sauce. Garnish with additional chopped candy bars.

Notes

  • Use a water bath to prevent cracking if desired.
  • Snickers, Milky Way, or similar candy bars work great in this recipe.
  • Let cheesecake come to room temperature for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
