   9      oz            Pkg chocolate wafer cookies
   4      tb            Butter -- melted
                        Filling:
  24      oz            Cream cheese (3 pkg) --
                        - softened, ea cut into 1/6ths
   1      c             Sugar
   4                    Eggs
   1      tb            Vanilla extract
   2      c             Heavy cream -- divided
   1 1/2  lb            Snickers bars -- snack sized

Preheat oven to 325°F. In a food processor, grind cookies into fine
crumbs. Add butter and process until well blended. Press into bottom
and about 1" up sides of a 9-1/2 or 10" springform pan.

In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese and sugar with an electic
mixer on medium speed until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, one
at a time. Beat in vanilla and 1 cup cream; beat 3 to 4 minutes. Fold
in 1-1/2 cups cut-up Snickers pieces. Turn into a crumb-lined pan.

Bake 1 hour and 15 to 25 minutes, or until cheesecake is almost set
but center still jiggles slightly. Let cool to room temperature.

Sprinkle remaining candy pieces over top of cheesecake. Refrigerate
at least 4 to 5 hours before serving.

Run a knife around edge of pan to loosen cake and remove springform
side of pan. Just before serving, drizzle any Fudge Topping over
cake. Whip remaining 1 cup of cream until stiff and spoon a dollop
over each slice.
