Oh, how I love cheesecake!! A big thank you to Anne Strawberry for this weeks selection of Tall and Creamy Cheesecake. Be sure and check out her blog!This recipe was really wonderful. I like a good cheesecake and usually don't add any extra ingredients to my cakes. This week I decided to step out of my cheesecake box and add some Reese's Peanut Butter cups. These are the mini cups and I quarted them. I folded them into the batter just before pouring into the springform pan.
Now of course I said I don't usually add any extras into my cheesecake batter. I failed to mention that I don't use graham crackers for my crust. I have found that I like to use a box of the 100 Calorie pack of Oreos. It does take the who box crushed up, but it is really good. In the past, I have also used regular Oreos as the crust!! Wow is it good!
This is a recipe I will use again. It was really light and had a wonderful texture.

Crushed Oreos and chopped up Reese's Cups? I'm so wanting to make that inspired combination!
Yep...you can't go wrong with crushed up Oreos, that's for sure!! The candy was a nice touch, too.
Peanut butter cups is one of my favorite additions to cheesecake and I love a chocolate cookie crust - I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the results of your venture outside your usual cheesecake comfort zone.
