    Peanut butter and chocolate go together like peanut butter and jelly. Right? Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are wildly popular because, HELLO! It combines two of America's favorite things: peanut butter and chocolate! This Mini Peanut Butter Cheesecakes in Jars Recipe combines those two powerhouses of flavor, but with a twist: it's a mini cheesecake too! Oh, and the obvious...served in these little mason jars, they are completely adorable too!

    With Halloween coming up, the little orange and yellow Reese's Pieces add a nice festive touch, but this Mini Peanut Butter Cheesecakes in Jars Recipe is perfect for year-round sweet tooth cravings. This would be especially fun to serve as an alternative to pumpkin pie at your family's Thanksgiving dinner!

    If you want to skip the Reese's Pieces (though I don't know why you would want to do that!), you can also use regular M&M's as a topping...or more crushed Oreo's, or even crushed graham crackers!

    The possibilities are endless, just use your imagination!

    • Reese's Pieces (optional but fun!)
    • (10) 4 oz. jelly jars

    Directions

      Okay I think I gained 10 pounds just looking at these! I like that they're pretty easy to make too, and no baking - even better!

      I've never heard of peanut butter cheesecake. But if these taste as good as they look, I'm all over it.

      I made these a while back and my friends, Mom and kids loved them! I wanted something cute and amazing on hand for impomtu visits so I made them and put them in the top drawer of my freezer. They thawed in just a few minutes...and when I was impatient they were delicious a little frozen as well.
      We just finished the last three tonight and I loved mine even more than when I first made them. I started searching for some examples so I could honestly log some details into myfitnesspal for today lol and luckily found the site again.
      So thank you!

        I am so glad that you liked them! They're such a fun treat and you're right - they really don't need extra sugar.

      Just wanted to add, I appreciate now that these don’t pack extra sugar into them. The sweetness of the Oreo crumbs, peanut butter as is and peices on top are enough.
      I was expecting more sweetness in the peanut butter layer when I first made them but I’ve reduced my use of sugar now and really enjoyed this tonight.
