Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by lining an 11x7 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
  2. Preheat your kitchen ambiance.
  3. In a double boiler, melt together semisweet chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter over medium heat, stirring until smooth and completely combined.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Place it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine marshmallow fluff, additional peanut butter, and confectioners sugar, mixing until smooth.
  6. In a stand mixer, beat cream cheese until fluffy and then blend in the fluff mixture until fully incorporated.
  7. Spread the cheesecake filling over the cooled chocolate layer and gently press dry roasted peanuts into the top. Return to the freezer for another 5-10 minutes.
  8. Using the double boiler again, melt caramels together with heavy cream. Allow it to cool slightly, then pour the caramel layer over the cheesecake filling.
  9. Melt another batch of semisweet chocolate chips and peanut butter until creamy and combined. Pour this final chocolate layer over the caramel layer.
  10. Once set, remove your Snickers Cheesecake Bars from the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Use a sharp, warm knife to cut into squares.
  11. Serve chilled and enjoy!
