Description
Delicious cheesecake bars featuring a creamy filling with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Butterfinger bars, topped with a rich chocolate ganache.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups
- 1/2 cup chopped Butterfinger bars
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Fold in the chopped Reese’s and Butterfinger pieces. Pour this mixture over the crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set. Let the bars cool completely.
- Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until hot, but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until smooth and glossy.
- Pour the ganache over the cooled cheesecake bars, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the ganache is set.
- Cut the bars into squares and enjoy the rich, chocolatey, candy-filled goodness!
Notes
Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing. For an extra crunch, add more chopped Reese’s or Butterfinger bars on top of the ganache before it sets.
