Sweet Kitchen Cravings

0 Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly grease an 8” x 8” square pan with cooking spray. Line with parchment paper to create a sling, with an overhang on all four sides.
1 Oreo Crust: In a food processor, add the oreos and pulse to fine crumbs. Combine the crumbs with the melted butter in a bowl. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan, firmly packing it down. Bake for 8 minutes. Set the crust aside and leave the oven on.
2 Peanut Butter Cheesecake Filling: Using a handheld mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and no lumps remain.
3 Add the peanut butter, milk, flour, and vanilla extract, mixing just until combined. Fold in the chopped oreos.
4 Pour the cheesecake filling onto the baked oreo crust. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the top of the cheesecake is lightly brown and the edges slightly start to crack.
5 Leave the cheesecake at room temperature until cool enough to handle then refrigerate until it is completely cool and chilled before cutting.
6 Once cooled, remove the cheesecake from the pan and cut it into pieces.
7 Ganache Topping: Combine the chocolate and heavy cream in a microwave-safe dish and heat in 20-second increments, stirring in between until melted.
8 Drizzle the warm ganache on the cheesecake bars and top with more crushed oreos, if desired, and enjoy!
