Filling and Baking
Preheat oven to 325 F.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer (I like KitchenAid), beat cream cheese for 1 to 2 minutes to make it creamy.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter and beat another 1 to 2 minutes until thoroughly mixed.
Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until well blended (about 2 minute).
Fold in the chopped Snickers bars.
Pour batter into prepared bottom crust.
Bake 1 hour at 325 F (the center will wobble slightly like very set jello). Cool on wire rack 1 to 2 hours before removing side of springform pan.
Chill several hours or overnight. Drizzle with drizzled salted caramel sauce and chopped peanuts.
