Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake w/ Pretzel Crust.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups crushed pretzels
1/3 cup butter, melted

Filling:
5 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs lightly beaten
1 cup peanut butter chips
1 cup (6 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Topping:
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
3 Tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup finely chopped peanuts

DIRECTIONS:

For crust:
In a small bowl, combine crushed pretzels & butter. Press into a 10-inch, greased, spring form pan. Press the crust across the bottom and one inch up the sides. Put pan on a cookie sheet and Bake at 350 degrees for five minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

For Filling:
In a large bowl, combine cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla and peanut butter; mix well. Add eggs. Beat on low speed until combined. With a spoon, stir in chips. Pour this mixture over crust and return pan to baking sheet. Bake at 350 for 50-55 minutes or until center is almost set. Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes. LEAVE OVEN ON.

For topping:
In a small bowl, combine sugar, sour cream and peanut butter. Spread over filling. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts. Return to oven and bake for an additional five minutes.

To finish:
Cool on wire rack for 10 minutes. CAREFULLY run a knife around outside edge to loosen from pan. Cool one hour longer. Refrigerate overnight. Remove sides of pan.

Serves 12 to 14. Refrigerate leftovers.
