Snickers cheesecake bars are one of the cheesecake desserts that your family will beg you for. Creamy Snickers cheesecake filling baked onto a brown butter graham cracker crust. This cheesecake bars recipe is perfect to make with leftover Halloween candy!

I adore brown butter. The nutty taste adds so much flavor to baked goods!

What is Brown Butter?

Brown butter is made by cooking butter over medium heat until the water has evaporated and the milk solids have separated. This causes the butter to become golden brown and it takes on a nutty flavor that makes anything the brown butter touches more delicious!

If you’ve never consumed brown butter, you’re in for a treat. It’s got a nutty depth of flavor that accentuates everything it comes in contact with…sweet and savory alike!

In addition to using brown butter for the crust of the Snickers Cheesecake Bars, I’ve also used it to make everything from low carb Brown Butter Blondies to Brown Butter Bacon Pasta and even Brown Butter Walnut Pancake Muffins.
