It tastes very similar to the famous "Snickers" bar due to the viscous caramel and plenty of nuts. It is quite easy to make this cake, and guests will be surprised by the spectacular presentation and bright taste.

Ingredients for the base:

• shortbread cookies – 250 g
• creamy melted butter – 120 g

Ingredients for the cream cheese filling:

• cottage cheese – 550 g
• eggs – 2 pcs
• powdered sugar – 90 g
• 33% cream – 150 ml

Ingredients for caramel:

• sugar – 225 g
• water – 60 g
• cream 33% – 120 g
• salt – 1 tsp without a slide
• peanuts – 100-130 g

Method of preparation:

1. For the base, grind the cookies into crumbs (with a blender or rolling pin), add melted butter, cocoa (optional). Tamp into the mold, spread on the bottom and sides, put in the refrigerator.

2. For the filling, mix everything, put the mass on top of the cookie base.

3. Bake at 140-150 degrees for 80-90 minutes, the mass should set on the sides, and the center should remain liquid. Cool at room temperature, put in the refrigerator until completely hardened.

4. Bring sugar and water to a boil over low heat.

5. Separately combine hot melted butter and hot cream.

6. Add this mass to the boiling syrup, add salt.

7. Boil slightly. At first, the mass will be liquid – this is normal. As it cools, it will thicken.
