Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine crushed graham crackers and melted butter, mixing until smooth.
  3. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
  4. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then remove and let it cool.
Cheesecake Filling

  2. Add in the peanut butter and mix until well combined.
  3. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined after each addition.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
  5. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust.
Baking

  3. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

Always use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth batter. Chill your cheesecake overnight for the best flavor.
