Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake

I made this for a charity auction that’s happening tonight. Other than having to keep an eye on it at the end in the oven, the recipe was PERFECT!!! When I went to use my thin knife to encourage it from the springform edge, my husband was standing over my shoulder with his fork ready to catch the bits. It turned out beautifully! Let’s hope to fetch $$$ for this amazing cheesecake and thank you for the perfectly easy instructions! Looks just like the picture (except that I added more reese’s chops and more chocolate drizzle – because this sucker needs to fetch hundreds)! Will definitely be making this again and again!
