Preparation Steps
- In a mixing bowl, combine finely crushed Nilla wafers, melted butter, and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand, then press it firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator to firm up while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the pure vanilla extract and sour cream until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and additional kosher salt, mixing until just combined. Melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals until smooth. Allow the chocolate to cool slightly before folding it into the cheesecake mixture.
- Carefully mix in the chopped mini Snickers, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the cheesecake batter. Pour the cheesecake batter over the chilled crust.
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Once baked, allow it to cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then refrigerate it for at least 3 hours or overnight. Drizzle the cheesecake with caramel and sprinkle the chopped roasted salted peanuts on top before serving.

Notes
Ensure your cream cheese is softened at room temperature for a smooth filling. Allow the cheesecake to chill fully for best texture.
