LOW CARB CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER NO-BAKE CHEESECAKE BARS

Layered desserts are so gorgeous!  These cheesecake bars have a thick layer of graham cracker crust (I looooove crust) and then a layer of peanut butter cheesecake and then chocolate cheesecake!  You can top it off with chocolate drizzle or whipped cream!  So how can this be a no bake recipe?  Well, there are no eggs so you don’t have to bake it! The crust stays together because you serve the dessert cold and the melted butter firms up in the fridge…tah-dah! It’s like magic.  Sweet chocolate peanut butter magic. Enjoy my Chocolate Peanut Butter No-Bake Cheesecake Bars!

Baking cheesecake can be tough, so I love no-bake cheesecake recipes!  The most important thing with any cheesecake is the temperature of your cream cheese, it needs to be soft!  If it is still cold from the fridge then you will get lumps!  This will make it look a little weird and mess with the texture. If you forgot to bring it out of the fridge in time to get to room temp then you can zap it in the microwave!  I do this all the time!
