How to Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare your favorite chocolate cookie dough (about 16 oz). Roll into 6 1-inch balls. Place on a baking sheet.
  3. Press the remaining cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared 13x9 inch pan.
  4. Bake the cookie balls and crust for 10-12 minutes, or until the balls are set and lightly golden. Remove from the oven.
  5. Let the cookies and crust cool completely.
  6. Set the baked cookie balls aside. Once completely cool, roughly chop into smaller pieces.
  7. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup (6 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth and combined.
  8. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the cooled crust.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate layer is firm.
  10. In a large bowl, beat together 16 oz cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1/2 cup heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
  11. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
  12. Spread the peanut butter cheesecake mixture evenly over the chocolate layer.
  13. Sprinkle the reserved chopped cookies over the cheesecake layer and gently press them into the filling.
  14. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until set.
  15. Store in the refrigerator. Serve chilled and enjoy!
