John's Birthday Skor Bar Cheesecake


Hubby's request this year wasn't for your typical birthday cake !
He wanted cheesecake , but not just any cheesecake - Skor Bar Cheesecake !
So I found a recipe online and thought I would share ...
You will need :
~ 2 cups of graham cracker crumbs
~ 1/2 cup of butter
~ 1/2 cup white sugar
~ 2 pkgs of cream cheese
~ 1 cup of white sugar
~ 4 eggs
~ 1 tbsp of lemon juice ( which I did not have ) ... oopps ...
~ 1 tsp vanilla
~ 6 skor bars
Start with mixing together in a saucepan:
2 cups of graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup of butter
1/2 cup of sugar
Stir until it's all melted together ....
Press it into a 9 inch spring foam pan ....
Then it's time to mix together the actual yummy part ....
First dump in your softened cream cheese and your sugar ....
Mix that until there are no lumps left ....
Then add the vanilla and lemon juice ( if you have any ;) ) ....
Add the 4 eggs one at a time ....
While those are whipping up:
Grab your skor bars and a hammer !
Not kidding! 
Now pound the bars into little pieces ...
It is best if you throw the bars in to the freezer for a few hours ....
Makes it easier for them to break apart instead of turning to mush ....
Add them to your mixture ....
Mix for under a minute ...
It should look like this :)
Pour over your graham cracker mixture and bake at 350' for just over an hour ...
Here it is !
The finished birthday cheesecake . Complete with a Wiggles candle because someones wife forgot to buy actual candles and that was the only one in the house :)
Enjoy :)

Yum!!! Did the title to this post ever catch my eye!! Here in the States we cheat and buy pre-crushed Skor bits. :-) We make chocolate frosting and mix 'em in. Delish.
Happy Birthday, John!
Love the candle. :-)
