Mini Snickers Caramel Cheesecakes

** Recipe from Six Sister's Stuff **

* 2 c. chopped Snickers Bars
* 2 1/2 c. graham cracker crumbs
* 2 Tbl. granulated sugar
* 5 Tbl. melted butter
* 2 - 8oz. packages softened cream cheese
* 1 c. granulated sugar
* 2 eggs
* 1 Tbl. pure vanilla
* 3 Tbl. caramel sauce

**The original recipe suggests making these in a  muffin top pan, but I used a regular muffin tin pan and they worked fine!  If you are using a regular muffin tin, use a little bit less than 1/4 c. when you are pouring the filling into each tin so they don't overflow.**

Preheat oven to 350.  Place chopped Snickers into a bowl, set aside. Place graham crumbs, sugar and melted butter into a mixing bowl to combine. Spoon a couple spoonfuls of crumbs into each section of the muffin pan & press down and up the sides. Bake for 5-6 min, or just until browned. Remove from oven.  In a stand or electric mixer, beat the cream cheese & sugar until smooth and creamy. Add in eggs & vanilla until well combined, scraping sides of bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in caramel sauce until well combined. Pour about 1/4 c. of cheesecake mixture over each baked crust then top evenly with chopped Snickers. Bake for 23-26 min, or until cheesecake edges are just starting to brown and centers are nearly set. Remove and let cool completely. While still warm, loosen all edges with a plastic knife to make for easier removal from pan. Refrigerate once cooled then top with caramel sauce and whipped cream to serve!
