Today is all about the peanut butter and butterfingers. Surprisingly, I don’t actually have a baked peanut butter cheesecake on the blog yet. That changes today with a cheesecake that is wonderfully delicious and rich. The specks of baked Butterfingers throughout the cheesecake entice with every bite!
The base of this Butterfinger cheesecake is an Oreo crust – one of my favorites. The chocolate naturally goes perfect with this candy bar flavored cheesecake. Bake the crust prior to adding the filling so that it holds together better.
This Butterfinger Cheesecake is a thick and creamy peanut butter cheesecake filled with chopped Butterfingers in an Oreo crust!
