**Ingredients:**
– 2 cups crushed chocolate graham crackers
– 1/3 cup melted butter
– 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 3 large eggs
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 cup sour cream
– 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1 cup mini Snickers bars, chopped
– 1/4 cup chocolate sauce
– 1/4 cup caramel sauce
– 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed chocolate graham crackers with the melted butter until well mixed. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan, creating an even crust. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gently fold in the sour cream until fully incorporated into the cream cheese mixture.
6. Pour half of the batter over the crust in the springform pan.
7. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the peanut butter until smooth and drizzle half over the cheesecake batter in the pan.
8. Sprinkle half of the chopped Snickers bars over the batter, followed by half of the chocolate and caramel sauces.
9. Carefully pour the remaining half of the cheesecake batter onto the layers in the pan.
10. Drizzle the remaining melted peanut butter over the top, followed by the remaining Snickers bars, chocolate sauce, and caramel sauce.
11. Using a knife, gently swirl the layers together to create a marbled effect.
12. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until the cheesecake is set with a slight jiggle in the center.
13. Once done, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside to cool slowly for about an hour.
14. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.
15. Before serving, sprinkle the top with chopped peanuts for an added crunch.
