Ingredients
- 20 OREO® cookies
- 5 Tablespoon butter, melted {I use salted}
- 16 oz. {2 blocks} cream cheese, softened
- 1 large Egg
- 1/4 cup Imperial Light Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cup smooth Peanut Butter
- 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 12 mini size Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped
- 1/2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with aluminum foil, allowing the sides to overhang.
- In a food processor, pulse the OREO® cookies until fine crumbs are formed. Add the butter and mix with the OREO® cookies. Press into the bottom of your prepared pan and bake for 9-10 minutes. Let cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, egg, Imperial Light Brown Sugar, peanut butter and vanilla until smooth.
- Fold in the chopped Reese’s and spread batter over prepared crust. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until cheesecake is set. Once the cheesecake is completely cooled, place cheesecake in refrigerator to chill for an hour.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a bowl or piping bag. Microwave on High for 30 seconds and then mix/stir. Continue to heat in microwave in 15 second increments until completely melted. Drizzle the chocolate over the cheesecake bars.
- Place the bars back in the refrigerator and cool completely for at least 3 hours. Once cool, lift foil out of the pan and cut into squares… Enjoy!
