Total Time 4 hours 5 minutes
Servings 16 bars

Ingredients

  • 20 Oreo cookies
  • 5 Tbsp. butter melted {I use salted}
  • 16 oz. {2 blocks} cream cheese softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 12 fun size Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups chopped
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with aluminum foil, allowing the sides to overhang.
  2. In a food processor, pulse the Oreos until fine crumbs are formed. Add the butter and mix with the Oreos. Press into the bottom of your prepared pan and bake for 9-10 minutes. Let cool completely.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, egg, brown sugar, peanut butter and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Fold in the chopped Reese’s and spread batter over prepared crust. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until cheesecake is set.
  5. Place chocolate chips in microwave in for 30 seconds and then stir. Continue to heat in microwave in 15 second increments until completely melted. Drizzle the chocolate over the cheesecake bars.
  6. Let the bars cool completely in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours. Once cool, lift foil out of the pan and cut into squares.
