Peanut Butter Butterfinger Cheesecake Bars

These Peanut Butter Butterfinger Cheesecake Bars are just outrageous. If you love candy, peanut butter and cheesecake than you have got to make these. The original was made in a 9 inch springform pan (which you can absolutely try) but I have changed these into a 9×13 pan. I then cut them into bars…small ones are perfect because they are rich! You can gild the lily and add more chopped candies on top if you’d like. I just went with a ganache this time keeping them a little simpler. For best results, make sure your cream cheese, eggs and sour cream are all at room temp! This makes for easier blending of ingredients. Keep the mixer on low to prevent too much air. I like to bang the pan on the counter before baking the cheesecake to release any air bubbles. This prevents cracking! If it should crack, no worries! The ganache will hide it beautifully.
