Time 1h5m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons white sugar
6 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
¾ cup sugar
⅛ teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons light cream
½ teaspoon rum extract
½ cup walnut pieces
1 ⅔ cups HERSHEY'S® Sea Salt Caramel Baking Chips

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 13x9x2-inch baking pan with foil, extending foil beyond pan sides. Prepare CRUMB CRUST.
  • CRUMB CRUST: Stir together 1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs and 3 tablespoons sugar in medium bowl; blend in 6 tablespoons melted butter or margarine, mixing well. Press mixture onto bottom of 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
  • Beat cream cheese, sugar and salt in large bowl until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Set aside 3-1/2 cups batter; blend light cream and rum extract into remaining batter. Stir in walnuts, if desired.
  • Place caramel chips in medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at MEDIUM (50%) 1 minute; stir. If necessary, microwave at MEDIUM an additional 15 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating, until chips are melted and smooth when stirred. Gradually stir rum and nut batter into melted chips, stirring until well blended.
  • Alternately drop vanilla batter and caramel nut batter by heaping tablespoons onto crumb crust. With knife or small spatula swirl batters for marbled effect. (Batters will flatten and smooth as cheesecake batter bakes.)
  • Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until center is set and edges puff and begin to crack. Cool in pan on wire rack. Refrigerate until chilled. Using foil as handles, lift from pan. Cut into bars.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This allows them to blend together more easily, resulting in a smoother and more evenly textured cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, which can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Use a variety of Hershey's bars: This will give the cake a more complex and interesting flavor.
  • Get creative with your decorations: You can use chopped nuts, sprinkles, or even chocolate chips to decorate the cake.

Conclusion:

The Hershey bar swirl cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
