Chocolate-Peanut Butter Cheesecake

This was an excellent recipe. Our over in our apartment isn't great, so it took longer than expected, but the end result came out creamy and delicious! If you are, or have someone that is, a peanut butter fan and like yourself some cheesecake as well, this is the recipe to go with. We changed it just a little bit, though, by adding broken up Reese's Peanut Butter cups to the top and adding chocolate chip cookies to the oreo crust as well.

Excellent - and not horribly sweet! I do not like super sweet desserts. This is perfect. I added chopped peanut butter cups to the top after it cooled.
