Snickers Cheesecake

This recipe came about one night from a craving for Snickers!! So what better way to make a snickers cheesecake we thought than throw a load of snickers into it. We used chopped pieces of snickers on the base of the cheesecake which is made up from chocolate digestive biscuits. Then we baked our favourite cheesecake mixture for the cheesecake. To finish the snickers cheesecake we roasted some peanuts which were sprinkled on top then we made a toffee sauce to go on top.

All in all it actually tastes very much like a snickers (how can it not though?!). If you remove the snickers and peanuts then the toffee sauce also works well with this cheesecake. And the chocolate digestive base turns into a heavenly golden base that goes well with the creamy cheesecake.
