Snickers Cheesecake

I have a picture of this on my Debit card - I can't tell you how many people, ask what it is a picture of then start drooling when I tell them then when I tell them it was made in a Dutch Oven they are floored. As I have stated many times before if you can cook it in your oven you can cook it in a Dutch Oven.
