Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Make the Crust

First, let’s get that buttery crust ready!

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine:
   • Graham cracker crumbs
   • Melted butter
   • Brown sugar
2. Mix it all together with a spoon until it looks like wet sand.
3. Pour the crumb mixture into a 9-inch springform pan. Press it down firmly using the back of a spoon or a flat measuring cup. Make sure the crust is even and well-packed.
4. Place the pan in the fridge to let the crust set while you make the filling.

2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

This is where the magic happens!

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the powdered sugar and continue beating until it’s fully mixed and fluffy.
3. Pour in the vanilla extract and beat again to combine.
4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This means when you lift the beaters, the cream should hold its shape.
5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Be careful not to overmix—we want to keep it light and fluffy!

3. Add the Candy and Color

Now for the fun part—candy time!

1. Add a few drops of pink food coloring to the filling and gently fold it in until you reach your desired shade. You can go for a soft blush pink or a vibrant hot pink, depending on your style!
2. Fold in the chopped Snickers and M&Ms, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the filling.

4. Assemble the Cheesecake

1. Take the springform pan out of the fridge and pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust.
2. Spread the filling evenly with a spatula, making sure the top is smooth and level.
3. Cover the pan with plastic wrap or foil and place it in the fridge to chill for at least 6 hours, but overnight is even better.

5. Decorate and Serve

Once the cheesecake is set, it’s time to decorate!

1. Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and place it on a serving plate.
2. Spread a layer of whipped topping on top.
3. Sprinkle extra M&Ms and chopped Snickers pieces all over the top.
4. For an extra touch, drizzle melted chocolate over the top in zigzag lines.
5. Slice and serve!
