Ingredients
2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, melted
1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus more for drizzling
1/2 cup salted peanuts, chopped
Chocolate shavings, for garnish
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a muffin tin lined with paper liners to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator to set.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Divide the cream cheese mixture in half. Stir the melted peanut butter into one half and the caramel sauce into the other half.
4. Spoon the peanut butter mixture over the chilled crusts, followed by the caramel mixture. Use a toothpick to swirl the layers for a marbled effect.
5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the cheesecakes are firm.
6. Before serving, drizzle with additional caramel sauce and top with chopped salted peanuts and chocolate shavings.
