Recipe

Directions:
Crust:
Combine butter, graham wafer crumbs and sugar. Press into the bottom of a 10" spring form pan. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F.
Cool completely before adding filling.
Filling:
In a large mixer bowl, beat cream cheese, peanut butter, and sugar until light and fluffy.
Whip cream and fold into peanut butter mixture. Pour over cooled crust.
Topping:
Combine sugar, cream and vanilla in a saucepan. Stir to blend. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes - do not stir.
Remove from heat and add chocolate and butter. Stir with a wooden spoon until chocolate has melted and the mixture becomes quite shiny - about 5 minutes.
Pour over filling. Refrigerate at least 8 hours, or overnight.
