Line a 12 ct. muffin tin with cupcake liners

Evenly divide crumb mixture into muffin tin

Using fingers and then measuring cup (1/2 cup fit perfectly) press crumbs firmly into bottom of muffin tin

Bake in preheated oven for 4-5 minutes

Remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack while you mix the cheesecake

If your crust has cooled, evenly divide the almond into 6 cups and peanut butter into 6

If crust needs more cooling time, set aside and add just before cheesecake mixture

Place room temp cream cheese in bowl of stand mixer

Using paddle attachment beat on medium speed, beat 3-4 minutes until completely smooth and creamy

*I CAN NOT stress enough the importance of ROOM TEMPERATURE cream cheese and eggs*

Add room temp eggs, one at a time mixing well between each

When eggs are mixed well, add heavy cream, sugar and vanilla

Beat on medium speed until smooth

*Here’s where it can get tricky.  Make sure you somehow label your pan so you can remember which are almond and which are peanut butter.  I suggest masking tape on the ends of your pan with an initial.  I couldn’t find our masking tape so I just wrote right on the pan, thinking it would wash off.  It didn’t.  But, I didn’t get my cheesecakes confused.

Divide cheesecake batter evenly into tins

They will be almost full

Bake at 20-22 minutes or until center looks set

*Over baking causes tops to split.  Although, the top gets covered in this recipe so don’t stress if you have cracks*

Allow to cool in pan for 30

Remove from pan and allow them to cool on a wire rack another 30 minutes

*Again use something to label flavors

Place in refrigerator 2-4 hours or overnight


Making Topping:

Make chocolate ganache by placing chocolate chips and heavy cream in top of double boiler

Heat and stir until smooth

Place peanut butter in microwave safe boil and microwave 20-25 seconds

Remove and stir

Microwave a few more seconds until melted and able to drizzle

Do the same with caramel topping

Chop 1 SNICKERS® Almond and 1 Peanut Butter Bar (2 pk)

Place chopped bars on corresponding cheesecakes

Drizzle almond cheesecakes with caramel and chocolate

Drizzle peanut butter cheesecakes with peanut butter and chocolate

Enjoy right away or refrigerate for later

*If serving from fridge….I highly recommend taking them out a few minutes before serving to allow them to warm a little, otherwise candy bars are a little hard.
