So, I love cheesecake as much as the Golden Girls do. The RITZ® Snackify Challenge has inspired me. I love coming up with and creating new recipes, especially decadent ones. Some that you wouldn’t even think about….yet EASY to make! I decided to create this crazy good recipe for Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake Bites. Yessss!!!! A sweet no-bake cheesecake mixture dolloped on top of a RITZ® cracker, topped with a peanut butter cup. Can it get any better?! I’ll give you the play by play, but the printable recipe is at the bottom of the post, in case you want to print it and put it in your recipe box.  

Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake Bites ingredients:

• 1 8oz. block of softened cream cheese

• 1 8oz. tub of whipped topping

• 1/3 cup sugar

• peanut butter cups (miniatures or regular size)

• RITZ® Crackers

Directions:

Cream together the softened cream cheese and sugar with a mixer. Add whipped topping and about 10-12 chopped peanut butter cup minatures and stir until combined.   Scoop cheesecake mixture into a zip lock baggie and place in the fridge to firm up. Then cut off the corner (makeshift piping bag) and then pipe the mixture onto the RITZ® Crackers.       Top each cheesecake bite with a peanut butter cup. Serve right away, and store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container. Enjoy!       While I was at Walmart getting groceries, there was a RITZ® Crackers demo going on. The gal there was making some yummy snacks. She topped RITZ® Crackers with peanut butter, marshmallow cream and a banana slice. So soooo goood! After snacking on these and gabbing for a bit, I ran around the corner to the cracker aisle and scooped up a box of BACON flavored RITZ® Crackers and a regular box. For the recipe I created, I actually used BOTH kinds of the crackers. The Bacon flavor actually lended some more saltiness to the sweet and salty combo I was trying to achieve. Yum!         You can find the RITZ® Crackers at Walmart, in the cracker aisle. The Bacon flavored ones were about eye level and then the regular RITZ® Crackers were near the bottom shelf.
