2. Snickers Oreo Cheesecake

We’re sorry (not sorry) about the weight you will gain eating this. But it will actually be worth it!

• 16 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• 1 large egg
• ¼ cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 12 fun size snickers, chopped (about 1.5 cups total)
• ⅓ cup milk chocolate chips, optional

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Prepare a 8×8 baking pan by lining it with aluminum foil allowing the sides to overhang for easy removal.

2. In a food processor, pulse the oreos into a fine crumb. In a medium sized mixing bowl, stir the crushed cookies and butter together. Press into the bottom of the pan and bake for 9-10 minutes. Let cool.

3. Beat the cream cheese, egg, sugar and vanilla together until it has a smooth and creamy consistency.

4. Fold in the chopped snickers and spread over the crust. Top with chocolate chips and bake it doe 30-35 minutes or until cheesecake is set.

3. Snickers Chocolate Chips Cookies

Repeat after us: Need to go to the gym after these. But if ever a sweat session is worth it, this will be the one.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 16 tablespoons unsalted butter
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1 ½  cup sliced Snickers, (approximately 4 king size candy bars or one bag of mini size Snickers)
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Place flour and baking soda together in a bowl and whisk to combine; set aside.
2. Place 10 tablespoons butter in 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until melted, about 2 minutes. Continue cooking and using the handle of pan to swirl the butter around in the skillet. Swirl butter constantly until it becomes a dark golden brown in color and gives off a nutty aroma, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and transfer browned butter to large heatproof bowl. Stir remaining 6 tablespoons of butter into hot butter until completely melted.
3. Add both sugars, salt, and vanilla to brown butter mixture and whisk until fully incorporated. Add eggs and whisk until mixture is smooth with no sugar lumps remaining, about 30 seconds. Rest mixture for 3 minutes, then whisk for another 30 seconds. Repeat process of resting and whisking 2 more times until mixture is thick, smooth, and shiny. Using sturdy rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir in flour mixture until just combined, about 1 minute. Stir in chocolate chips giving dough final stir to ensure no flour pockets remain.
4. Using a #24 cookie scoop (basically a small ice cream scoop) or using a spoon scoop out approximately two heaping tablespoons of dough and flatten it into a round disc and place a Snickers slice on top. Fold edges over Snickers to seal it in. (*Optional: For added richness press in chopped Snickers on top). Place cookies 2 inches apart on parchment lined baking sheets.
5. Bake cookies 1 sheet at a time until cookies are golden brown and still puffy, and edges have begun to set but centers are still soft, about 10 to 14 minutes. Transfer baking sheet to wire rack to cool cookies.
