1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate wafer cookies (about 25 cookies)
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
20 bars (fun-size) candy, unwrapped, cut into quarters (about 2 cups)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 300°F. Spray 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. To minimize cracking, place shallow pan half full of hot water on lower oven rack.
  • In medium bowl, mix cookie crumbs, sugar and butter. Press on bottom of pan. In large bowl, beat cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk with electric mixer until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time, just until blended. Stir in vanilla and candy. Pour over crust.
  • Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until edge of cheesecake is set at least 2 inches from edge of pan but center of cheesecake still jiggles slightly when moved.

Refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Just before serving, run small metal spatula around edge of pan; carefully remove side of pan. Cover and refrigerate any remaining cheesecake.

TRICK OR TREAT CHEESECAKE

A rich treat that will get many compliments. You can add just about any candy bar combination. Let your imagination run wild. I used the Halloween cookies with orange filling; the flavor is still the same. Before serving, carefully remove sides of pan and place on a serving dish. I added candy corn on top before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality cream cheese. This will ensure that your cheesecake is rich and creamy.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • Don't overbeat the cream cheese. Overbeating can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly.
  • Use a springform pan. This will make it easy to remove the cheesecake from the pan.
  • Bake the cheesecake in a water bath. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
  • Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the cheesecake to set properly.
