Ingredients
  

  • 7 graham crackers
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter cooled
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 packages cream cheese (8 ounces each) room temperature
  • 2/3 cups sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 whole Reese's Peanut Butter Cups divided
  • 2 ounces semisweet chocolate melted
  • Reese's Pieces optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line an 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Let about 3-4 inches of parchment paper hang over so the bars will be easy to lift out.
  • Put the graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until they are finely crushed. Add the brown sugar, butter, flour, and salt. Pulse until combined.
  • Transfer the crumb mixture into your baking pan and press the crumbs into the bottom. Bake for 12-15 minutes until crust begins to brown. Let it cool while you make the filling.
  • Put the cream cheese in the food processor and run until smooth. Add in the sugar and blitz again until everything is light and fluffy.
  • Scrape the bowl and add in the eggs one at a time while mixing
  • Add in the sour cream and vanilla and mix well.
  • Pour the batter into the cooled crust. Chop 9 of the Peanut Butter Cups, saving the rest for garnish. Gently swirl the chopped candies through the batter.
  • Bake until the cheesecake is just set but the middle still jiggles, about 35-40 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through baking.
  • Let the pan cool on a rack for 2 hours. Cover with foil and refrigerate for 3 hours before cutting. Pull the bars from the pan and cut into squares.
  • Melt the semisweet chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler and drizzle over the cooled bars. Top with the remaining chopped Peanut Butter Cups and Reese's Pieces.
