Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake. Rich, creamy peanut butter cheesecake sits on top of a delicious chocolate crust, drizzled with warm chocolate ganache and overloaded with peanut butter chocolate candies. Can you OD on dessert? Anytime you make a cheesecake, remember to use room temperature ingredients, as cold ingredients will cause your cheesecake to have lumps. Only one word can really describe this recipe: rich! With two pounds of cream cheese, how could it not be?! That being said, this recipe is for the true peanut butter cup fanatic. I loved the fact that this recipe called for a brownie crust, instead of the crushed cookie or thinner graham cracker crusts out there. You could substitute for another crust, but I don’t know why you would. If you know someone who loves peanut butter cups, make this for them and they will probably love you forever. was pinched from <a href="http://www.allfood.recipes/peanut-butter-cup-cheesecake/" target="_blank">www.allfood.recipes.</a>
