review: Snicker's Cheesecake (Oct. 98)

[JulieAnn]

I didn't see any specific review of this recipe so I started one. I've been wanting to make this for a long time and finally got around to it. I loved it! My in-laws who like lots of calories also liked it. My husband thought the Tofu Lemon-Lime Cheesecake was better , but I disagreed. For the crust I used half Oreos and half regular graham crackers and added a little bit of melted butter. If you haven't tried this one,you should try it. It's my favorite CL cheesecake yet. I've tried the pumpkin, banana split, lemon-lime nd sour cream.

I can second your review. I made this when it first came out and loved it.

I made this Snickers Cheesecake for dessert last night. We had neighbors over. I would vote it was a success as the neighbors finished theirs up and had seconds. My DH also commented on how good it was. A success in our home!

I made this over the holidays and it was fabulous! Even though I made several key mistakes during the preparation, I managed to save it and it came out fine - another check in its favor, it's a forgiving recipe! I noticed that when you pour in half the batter, then the snickers bits, then the rest of the batter, it doesn't really layer, it just all mixes together. But no biggie, it's so delicious!
