# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Smash Oreos or graham crackers to crumbs either in a bag with a rolling pin or the food processor. Mix with melted butter, then press the blend into the bottom of your springform pan. Pop it in the fridge for half an hour to let it firm up.
02 -
Warm up the chocolate chips in a pan over medium and stir till glossy. Take off the heat and give it a minute to cool down a little.
03 -
Toss cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a bowl and whip with your mixer till smooth as silk. Gradually add your melty, cooled chocolate and beat until it's all together. Gently fold in chopped Snickers so you keep the fluffy feel.
04 -
Spoon some filling into a separate bowl and add pink food coloring. Swirl it back in and keep stirring till the color looks even.
05 -
Whip heavy cream to stiff, firm peaks. Carefully fold it into your pink filling—don’t squash all the air out.
06 -
Spread the pink mix onto your chilled base and smooth out the top. Throw on some plastic wrap and stick it in the fridge for at least 4 hours, so it gets really set.
07 -
Once it’s nice and cold, pop the dessert out of the pan. Add puffs of whipped cream, some chopped Snickers, and a scoop of M&Ms if you’re feeling it. Slice up and dig in straight from the fridge.
