How to Store Homemade Brownie Bottom Snickers Stuffed Cheesecake Bars
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze the bars for up to three months. Just make sure to wrap them tightly to prevent freezer burn.
Tips to Make Homemade Brownie Bottom Snickers Stuffed Cheesecake Bars
- Make sure your cream cheese is softened. This helps create a smooth and creamy cheesecake layer.
- Allow the brownie layer to cool completely before adding the cheesecake mixture. This prevents the two layers from mixing.
- Press the Snickers pieces lightly into the cheesecake layer to keep them from floating during baking.
Variation
You can swap out the Snickers bars for other candy bars if you prefer. Try using Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups or M&M’s instead for a different flavor twist!
FAQs

Q: Can I make this recipe without eggs?
A: You can try substituting eggs with egg replacers or unsweetened applesauce, but the texture might be slightly different.
