Ingredients

1 ½ cups chocolate sandwich cookies (crushed)

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup whipped cream (or whipped topping)

½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for topping)

1 tablespoon coconut oil (for topping)

Instructions

Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x9 inch square baking dish to form an even crust. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.

Make the Peanut Butter Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the peanut butter, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Add Whipped Cream: Gently fold in the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until fully combined and fluffy. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled crust in the baking dish.

Chill the Bars: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake layer is firm and set.

Prepare the Chocolate Topping: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Combine and Drizzle: Once the cheesecake layer has set, remove the bars from the refrigerator. Drizzle the melted chocolate mixture over the top evenly.

Final Chill: Place the bars back in the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.

Serve: Once the chocolate has set, cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious No-Bake Buckeye Cheesecake Bars!
