Peanut Butter Cheesecake

Crust:
1-1/2 cups crushed pretzels
1/3 cup butter, melted

Filling:
5 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1-1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup peanut butter chips
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

Topping:
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup finely chopped unsalted peanuts

• In a small bowl, combine pretzels and butter. Press onto the bottom and 1 in. up the sides of a greased 10-in. spring-form pan. Place pan on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 5 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
• In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add peanut butter and vanilla; mix well. Add eggs; beat on low just until combined. Stir in chips. Pour over the crust. Return pan to baking sheet.
• Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes or until center is almost set. Remove from the oven; let stand for 15 minutes (leave oven on).
• For topping, in a small bowl, combine the sour cream, peanut butter and sugar; spread over filling. Sprinkle with nuts. Bake 5 minutes longer.
• Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight. Remove sides of pan. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 12-14 servings.
  

It also freezes well. I just place the cheesecake in the freezer in the springform pan and freeze it. Then when it's frozen I take it out and wrap it like crazy in plastic wrap. When you are ready to use it just take it out the morning before and thaw in fridge.
