No bake, delicious chocolate peanut butter cheesecake with a pretzel crust!

Prep Time 25 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3/4 of a jar of peanut butter chocolate blend (I used Dark Chocolate Dreams from Peanut Butter & Co.)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • one 7-8 oz package of pretzels
  • one stick of butter, softened
  • two 8 oz packages of cream cheese, softened
  • bag of peanut butter chips
  • one tsp of vanilla

Instructions

    1. Add pretzels, 6 TBSP (3/4 of the stick) softened butter, and 1/4 cup of peanut butter chips to a food processor.
    2. Pulse ingredients until finely chopped. (It is okay to be a little chunky...it's your preference.)
    3. Press into the bottom and sides of a 9 inch pie plate.
    4. Refrigerate pie crust while you make the filling.
    5. In a large mixing bowl, add in softened cream cheese, 3/4 jar of Dark Chocolate Dreams, 1/2 cup of sugar, remaining softened butter (2 TBSP or 1/4 of the stick), and vanilla. Mix well until smooth.
    6. Spread the mixture into the chilled pie crust. (It will be very thick, but If it is too thick, you can add melted butter or melted coconut oil, a 1/2 tsp at a time, until it is the consistency that you prefer.)
    7. Melt about 1/8 cup of Dark Chocolate Dreams and drizzle it over the top, then add a few peanut butte chips on top.
    8. Chill for at least 2 hours and serve.
