I love Snickers candy bars. It’s an obsession that started when I was pregnant with my daughter. One day the Snickers craving just hit me and eight years later it hasn’t left. Haha!
These little cheesecakes are full of Snickers flavor and I just love them. They’re perfect for a special birthday dessert or really any time you just feel like making something yummy in the kitchen.

How To Make Snickers Cheesecake Bites
- Make cookie layer. Mix your ingredients and fill your cupcake liners with about a tablespoon of batter. Bake and let cool.
- Add cheesecake layer. Make your caramel cheesecake filling and scoop a tablespoon of that over the cooled cookie. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Topping. When your cheesecakes are totally cool, make your ganache. Pour the chocolate ganache over the cheesecakes, then caramel sauce and pieces of chopped Snickers.
Quick Tips
The first tip for cheesecakes is always to make sure your cream cheese is soft. Leave it setting out to get to room temperature before working with it.
Another top tip is to use the best real vanilla extract you can find. It costs a bit more, but the real stuff has a much better flavor than imitaiton.
