# Étapes de réalisation:

01 - Crush graham crackers or Oreos into uniform fine crumbs using a food processor or by sealing them in a durable bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Combine the crumbs with melted butter and press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set the crust.
02 - Gently melt semi-sweet chocolate chips in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly to avoid scorching. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually incorporate the melted and cooled chocolate until the mixture is homogenous. Carefully fold in the chopped Snickers bars.
04 - Transfer a portion of the filling to a small bowl and mix with a few drops of pink food coloring. Blend the tinted portion back into the main filling until an even pink color is achieved.
05 - In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the colored filling, preserving the mixture’s volume.
06 - Spread the pink filling evenly over the chilled base and smooth the surface with a spatula. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or until set.
07 - Once fully set, remove from the pan and decorate with whipped cream, extra chopped Snickers bars, and M&Ms if desired. Slice with a sharp knife and serve cold.
