Is there a better combo than peanut butter and Oreo? I don’t think so. Even when I was a kid (and still today), I used to love putting peanut butter on my Oreos. The idea of peanut butter and chocolate in recipes isn’t something new. People have been adding it to recipes for years. Look at Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups? Another personal favorite of mine.
I thought it would be fun to create a delicious cheesecake crust out of Oreo’s and a creamy peanut butter cheesecake to go on top. You know I’m a big fan of miniature cheesecakes. Have you tried my Chocolate Ganache Mini Cheesecakes? Or how about my Mini Cheesecakes with Pumpkin Swirl, perfect for Fall and Halloween parties!
