How to Make Swirled Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake Bars

**Make the crust:** In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) melted unsalted butter, and ¼ cup granulated sugar. Mix until evenly moistened.
**Press into pan:** Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan.
**Prepare the peanut butter filling:** In a large bowl, beat together 16 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1 cup granulated sugar, and ¼ cup all-purpose flour until smooth. Gradually beat in 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
**Melt the chocolate:** In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate morsels in 30-second intervals on medium-high power, stirring until completely smooth.
**Combine fillings:** Stir 1 cup of the peanut butter cream cheese mixture into the melted chocolate.
**Layer and swirl:** Pour the remaining peanut butter cream cheese mixture into the prepared crust. Pour the chocolate mixture evenly over the peanut butter layer. Using a knife or toothpick, gently swirl the two mixtures together, creating a marbled effect.
**Bake:** Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges and the center is just slightly jiggly.
**Cool:** Let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before refrigerating.
**Chill:** Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the bars to firm up completely before cutting and serving.
