Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
- 0.25 cup Sugar
- 0.33 cup Melted Butter
- 2 cups Cream Cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 Large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
- 0.5 cup Chopped Butterfinger Bars
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1.5 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Press and Pre-Bake the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter, then press into the pan and bake for 10 minutes.
- Beat the Candy Cheesecake Filling: In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, then fold in chopped Reese’s and Butterfinger.
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust and bake at 350°F for 40 minutes, then cool completely.
- Heat the heavy cream until it simmers, pour it over the chocolate chips, and whisk until smooth for the ganache.
- Pour the ganache over the cooled cheesecake and chill for at least 4 hours before slicing.
Notes
For best results, keep mixer speed low when mixing the filling to avoid a puffed cheesecake. Use a hot knife for cleaner slices.
