Ingredients

11.5 oz. pkg. peanut butter chips
3- 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 c. sugar
½ c. brown sugar
3 eggs
2 T. peanut butter
1 t. vanilla
1 1/2 c. sour cream
2 c. Fudge sandwich cookie crumbs
2 T. sugar

In a large mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add the sugar and beat well to incorporate. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, then add the melted peanut butter chips, 2 tablespoons peanut butter and the vanilla. Beat mixture together until all ingredients are incorporated, making sure to scrape the bottom of the mixing bowl. Add sour cream and incorporate using low speed of the mixer.
  4. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 55-60 minutes.
  5. Turn oven off, but leave cheesecake in oven for an additional 20 minutes.
  6. Remove from oven and cool completely, then cover and refrigerate at least four hours or overnight.
  7. Garnish with reserved cookie mixture and add whipped cream, chocolate sauce or chocolate shavings, if desired.
