These rich and creamy Reese’s Butterfinger Cheesecake Bars are a candy lover’s dream! With a buttery graham cracker crust, peanut butter cheesecake filling, and crushed candy on top, they’re the ultimate no-fuss dessert for parties or holidays.
Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
For the Filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese softened
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup crushed Butterfinger candy
- ½ cup chopped Reese’s peanut butter cups
For Topping (Optional):
- Extra chopped Reese’s and Butterfinger
- Drizzle of melted chocolate or peanut butter
Instructions
Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper. Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press firmly into the pan and bake for 8 minutes.
Make the Filling:
- Beat cream cheese, peanut butter, and sugar until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until creamy. Fold in chopped Reese’s and crushed Butterfinger.
Assemble and Bake:
- Pour filling over the crust and smooth the top. Bake for 25–27 minutes or until center is just set. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Top and Serve:
- Before serving, top with extra candy pieces and drizzle with melted chocolate or peanut butter if desired. Slice into bars and enjoy!
Notes
- Make Ahead: These bars are even better the next day. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freezing Tip: Freeze tightly wrapped bars for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
- Customise It: Try using Snickers or Milky Way instead of Butterfinger for a fun twist.
