"A friend brought this to a silent auction, I was the lucky winner of one. This is so easy and so delicious! She got the recipe from the back of a cream cheese container. I would have taken a pict but the cheesecake vanished too quickly!"

This was so easy to make and delicious to eat! I did half the cake with Reeses for me and the other half with snickers for my husband. We both were happy. This was my first cheese cake and I couldn't be more happy. It would even be good without the toppings. Thanks for the recipe!!

I made this with a gluten free graham cracker pie crust and it was the easiest cheesecake recipe ever. Making again for holiday party this weekend. I didn't get any on the first one I made, but with none left over, I guess you can say it was a hit!

Wow!!!! This is great...I added the candy in the mix and them some more on top and it turned out fabulous ...I liked the fact that you could use a pre made crust as I did not have a springform pan because this was my first cheesecake.
