2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 cups granulated sugar, divided
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
4 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt
4 large eggs, at room temperature
16 Snickers "fun-size" bars, divided, plus more for garnish
4 tablespoons milk, divided
2 cups sour cream
Whipped cream for garnish

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir together graham cracker crumbs and 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl. Drizzle in butter and stir well with a fork. Press evenly into the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan. Beat cream cheese and 1 1/2 cups sugar at medium speed of electric mixer until soft and fluffy. Add vanilla and salt and blend. Add eggs, one at a time, beating on lowest speed of mixer. Pour over crust. Chop 10 candy bars. Combine with 2 tablespoons milk in a small saucepan. Cook and stir over very low heat until smooth. Spoon over cheesecake batter in parallel stripes. With a knife, cut across the stripes to swirl melted candy into batter. Bake for 1 hour, or until done. Cheesecake is done when edges appear to be firm, but center moves slightly when shaken gently. Cool for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, chop 6 candy bars and melt with remaining 2 tablespoons milk over low heat. Beat together sour cream and remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Spread sour cream mixture over cheesecake. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and drizzle melted candy over sour cream in a decorative pattern. Return to oven for 3 minutes. Remove from oven and refrigerate immediately. Before serving, decorate with whipped cream and whole candy bars, if desired.
