Equipment

  • 9×13 Baking Pan
  • Food processor
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 2 1/2 cups fudge-filled sandwich cookie crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 16 oz cream cheese room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 cup chopped Butterfinger candy bars divided

For Topping

  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  • Pulse the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Mix in the melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.
  • Press the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Place in the freezer while making the filling.
  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla, mixing until combined.
  • Mix in the heavy cream until just incorporated. Fold in the lightly beaten eggs gently to avoid overmixing.
  • Stir in half of the chopped Butterfinger pieces, reserving the rest for topping.
  • Pour the cheesecake batter over the chilled crust and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes until the edges are set but the center has a slight jiggle.
  • Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Before serving, drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with remaining Butterfinger pieces.
  • Slice into bars and enjoy!

Notes

For clean slices, dip a sharp knife in hot water and wipe clean between cuts. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
