Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Base

In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until it resembles wet sand.

Press a small amount into the base of silicone molds or mini muffin cups.

Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.

Add vanilla extract.

Separately, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks.

Gently fold into the cream cheese mixture.

Spoon the filling over the chilled base, leaving a small cavity in the center.

Chill again.

Step 3: Prepare the Peanut Butter Core

Mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, and salt until smooth.

Roll into marble-sized balls and press one into the center of each cheesecake layer.

Smooth tops and chill or freeze until set (about 30 minutes).

Step 4: Chill and Prep for Coating

Remove cheesecake balls from molds and place on parchment-lined tray.

Freeze for 15 minutes.

Step 5: Dip in Chocolate

Melt chocolate chips with oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth.

Let cool slightly.

Dip or drizzle chocolate over each cheesecake ball.

Sprinkle with chopped peanuts before the chocolate sets.

Step 6: Final Chill & Serve

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Let sit at room temp 5–10 minutes before serving.

Drizzle with melted peanut butter if desired.
