- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs - ½ cup unsalted butter, melted - 8 oz cream cheese, softened - ½ cup powdered sugar - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 cup whipped topping - 2 medium-sized Snickers bars, chopped - ½ cup caramel sauce - ½ cup chocolate sauce - A pinch of sea salt (optional) The first step in making No-Bake Snickers Cheesecake Bars is gathering your ingredients. Each item plays a key role in creating this sweet treat. Graham cracker crumbs form the base. They give a nice crunch and balance the creamy filling. You will need 1 ½ cups for the crust. Unsalted butter helps bind the crumbs. Melt ½ cup of it before mixing with the crumbs. This will create a rich texture. Cream cheese is essential for the filling. It adds creaminess and flavor. Use 8 ounces of softened cream cheese for best results. Powdered sugar sweetens the cheesecake layer. You will need ½ cup. It mixes well with the cream cheese. Vanilla extract adds a warm flavor. Just 1 teaspoon is enough to enhance the dessert. Whipped topping makes the filling light and fluffy. You need 1 cup for that perfect texture. Snickers bars add the signature taste. Chop up 2 medium-sized bars and mix them in. Save some pieces for topping. Caramel sauce gives a sweet drizzle. You will need ½ cup to add that gooey goodness. Chocolate sauce complements the caramel. Use another ½ cup for a rich finish. Finally, add a pinch of sea salt if you like. It balances the sweetness and enhances the flavors. With these ingredients ready, you can make a delicious No-Bake Snickers Cheesecake Bar. Each ingredient brings something special to the table. - First, mix 1 ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs with ½ cup of melted unsalted butter in a medium bowl. Make sure you blend it well. The mixture should feel crumbly yet hold together when pressed. - Next, take a greased 9x9 inch baking dish. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom. Use your hands or the back of a spoon for even distribution. - Now, in a large mixing bowl, beat 8 oz of softened cream cheese with a hand mixer. Aim for a smooth and fluffy texture. - Gradually add in ½ cup of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until the blend is creamy and well combined. - Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped topping. Be careful to keep it light and fluffy. Then, stir in 2 chopped Snickers bars, but save some for later. - Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crust you just made. Make sure it covers every part of the crust. - Drizzle ½ cup of caramel sauce and ½ cup of chocolate sauce on top. Use a toothpick to swirl the sauces together for a nice marbled look. - Finish by sprinkling the reserved Snickers pieces over the top. This adds a nice crunch and extra flavor. To get the best texture, the cream cheese must be softened. Softened cream cheese mixes well and becomes fluffy. If it’s cold, the mixture will be lumpy. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. When you beat it, it will blend easily. When you add the whipped topping, do it gently. Folding keeps the air in the mixture, making it light. Use a spatula to mix, and be careful not to stir too hard. This step is key to creamy bars. For a special touch, drizzle extra caramel and chocolate sauce on each slice. It adds more flavor and looks nice. A sprinkle of sea salt also boosts the taste. The salt plays well with the sweet flavors. If you want to impress guests, create a stunning presentation. Place the bars on a nice plate. Add fresh fruit or whipped cream on the side. This small effort makes a big difference at parties. One mistake many make is overmixing the cream cheese mixture. Overmixing can make the bars dense. It’s best to mix just until everything is combined. Another mistake is not letting the bars set long enough. They need at least four hours in the fridge. If removed too soon, they will be too soft to cut. Make sure to be patient for the best results. {{image_2}} You can easily tweak the recipe to fit your needs. For a gluten-free option, swap regular graham crackers for gluten-free ones. They work great and keep the same taste. If you want to change the toppings, try adding peanut butter or chopped nuts. They add a nice crunch and flavor twist. Feel free to play with different candy bars. You can mix in Reese's, Twix, or even M&M's for a fun change. Each candy brings a unique taste. You can also use flavored cream cheese, like caramel or strawberry. This change can brighten up the cheesecake and make it even more special. Seasonal flavors are a fun way to mix things up. In fall, you can add pumpkin spice to the mixture. This gives a warm and cozy vibe. For winter, try adding peppermint extract for a fresh, minty taste. These twists can make your dessert feel new and exciting all year round. To keep your No-Bake Snickers Cheesecake Bars fresh, store them in the fridge. Place the bars in an airtight container. Make sure they are tightly covered to prevent drying out. You can also use plastic wrap if you don't have a container. These bars can last up to five days in the fridge. If you want to store them for longer, freeze the bars. Cut them into pieces before freezing. Wrap each piece in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. This way, they won't stick together. You can store them for up to three months in the freezer. These tasty bars can last in the fridge for about five days. After that, they may lose flavor and texture. Signs of spoilage include a sour smell or changes in color. If you see any changes, it’s best to throw them away. If frozen, they can last up to three months. Just remember that the longer they sit, the more they may lose quality. To thaw frozen bars, move them to the fridge for a few hours. This slow method keeps them from getting too soft. You can also leave them out at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Once thawed, the bars are ready to serve. For a special touch, drizzle extra caramel and chocolate sauce on top. Enjoy them cold for a refreshing treat! Yes, you can! Feel free to swap in your favorite candy bars. Reese's, Milky Way, or even chopped Kit Kats work great. Just remember to adjust the toppings to match the new flavors. Mixing and matching can lead to fun surprises in taste! The bars need to chill for at least 4 hours. This helps them firm up nicely. For the best results, I recommend letting them set overnight. This way, the flavors blend better, and they become easier to cut. Yes! You can make a dairy-free version by using dairy-free cream cheese and whipped topping. There are many great alternatives available now. Just check the labels to ensure they fit your needs. The rest of the recipe stays the same! Absolutely! These bars are perfect for making ahead. They store well in the fridge for up to a week. Just cover them tightly with plastic wrap. This way, you can enjoy them whenever you want without the last-minute rush!

8 oz cream cheese, softened

½ cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup whipped topping

2 medium-sized Snickers bars, chopped

½ cup caramel sauce

½ cup chocolate sauce

A pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions
 

In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until combined and crumbly.

    Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x9 inch baking dish to form the crust. Make sure it's evenly distributed.

      In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy.

        Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined and creamy.

          Gently fold in the whipped topping until well incorporated, ensuring no lumps remain.

            Stir in the chopped Snickers bars, reserving a small handful for topping.

              Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.

                Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the cheesecake layer, followed by the chocolate sauce. Use a toothpick to swirl the sauces together for a marbled effect.

                  Sprinkle the reserved Snickers pieces on top.

                    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.

                      Once set, lift the cheesecake from the dish using the edges of the parchment paper (if used), cut into bars, and serve cold.
