Halloween is fast approaching and I could not be any more excited! I love cute and spooky things all too much. With time always being so limited, I definitely can't do it all. Knowing that you all struggle with the same thing, I love sharing simple ideas that are so EASY. This Halloween Candy Cheesecake is hauntingly simple with the help of The Cheesecake Factory Original Cheesecake found right in the frozen aisles of my local Publix store. All you need to do is thaw and decorate. That's what I call winning Halloween! Let me share exactly how I did it.

This easy cheesecake is the perfect canvas for pretty much any flavor add-ons for any celebration or holiday. For a wonderful Halloween twist, I chose some of the very best traditional candies.
