The Best Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecake Jars
This is not your average chocolate peanut butter cheesecake! A secret ingredient takes it to the next level! The easy cheesecake jars will quickly become a family favourite!
If you ask me, the 1980’s was probably the best decade ever. The best for music, the best teen movies and the best big hairstyles. Okay, maybe not the hairstyles, but definitely a fun decade.
The 80’s also reminds me of a television commercial where two random strangers were walking along minding their own business, one eating a jar of peanut butter and the other eating a bar of chocolate, when they suddenly bump into each other. The chocolate lands in the jar of peanut butter, they both take a taste, and the rest is history!
Sure, the irresistible combination of peanut butter and chocolate was created long before the 1980’s, but that commercial summed up the most iconic flavor combination at the most basic level.
I love making cheesecake jars. I wanted to put on my own delicious twist on that iconic flavour combination. Make it way better than basic! But, I wondered if it that was even possible.
The secret to these scrumptious chocolate peanut butter cheesecake jars?
Toblerone! Yup. Swiss milk chocolate with filled little bits of nougat. No plain old chocolate for this cheesecake. This one secret ingredient is all you need to take it from basic to BAM!
