Instructions

### Instructions:

#### Prepare the Crust:

1. **Mix Crust Ingredients:** In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.

2. **Press Into Pan:** Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan or pie dish, creating a firm, even layer.

3. **Chill Crust:** Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

#### Make the Cheesecake Filling:

1. **Beat Cream Cheese:** In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

2. **Add Sugars and Vanilla:** Mix in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.

3. **Whip Cream:** In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

4. **Fold in Cream:** Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.

5. **Add Snickers and M&M’s:** Fold in the chopped Snickers bars and mini M&M’s.

6. **Fill Crust:** Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

#### Chill the Cheesecake:

1. **Refrigerate:** Cover and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until set. Overnight is best for the flavors to meld.

#### Prepare the Topping:

1. **Chop Snickers:** Chop additional Snickers bars into small pieces.

2. **Prepare Sauces:** If needed, warm the chocolate and caramel sauces slightly to make them easier to drizzle.

#### Assemble and Serve:

1. **Top Cheesecake:** Once the cheesecake is set, spread the mini M&M’s and chopped Snickers bars evenly over the top.

2. **Drizzle Sauces:** Drizzle the chocolate sauce and caramel sauce over the cheesecake.
