Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bars
Do these really need an introduction? I don’t think so but I will give you one anyway! Just think of a crispy, buttery oreo crust topped with creamy peanut butter cheesecake and smothered in chocolate on top! Yup! They taste as ridiculous as they sound. You really need to get baking. These beauties are worth the work and they really aren’t that much work! These will also last for several days in the fridge or you can freeze them for a future event. The chocolate glaze on these is just perfect and cuts so smoothly. Make sure you use a nice, sharp knife!

Hi. I just took the chocolate peanut butter cheesecake out of the oven. It looks like the middle isn’t completely cooked. Is that normal or not. Thank you

They should only have a slight wiggle-they will set up more when chilled.
