Directions
Crust
Step 1
* Line a 9”x9” pan with parchment, leaving a 2” overhang on 2 opposite sides.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix Oreos and butter until combined. Pour into prepared pan and spread in an even layer, pressing with a measuring cup or spoon. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Cheesecake
Step 1
In a large bowl, using a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth. Add confectioners’ sugar and vanilla and beat until combined.
Step 2
Spoon over crust and spread in an even layer. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
Topping
Step 1
In a small heatproof bowl, microwave chips in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
Step 2
Pour chocolate over cheesecake and spread in an even layer, working quickly so chocolate doesn’t harden. Refrigerate until chocolate is hardened, about 30 minutes.
Step 3
Using parchment overhang, remove cheesecake from pan and cut into squares.
