Ingredients:

* 1 1/2 cups crushed Oreo cookies (about 15 cookies)
* 4 packages (8-oz ea) cream cheese, softened

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Press crushed Oreo cookies into bottom of 10-inch spring-form pan. Bake 7-9 minutes or until set. Cool on wire rack while preparing cake. Reduce oven heat to 300 degrees.

Beat softened cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy; add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition. Divide batter equally between two bowls.

Melt 1 cup chocolate chips; stir into 1/2 the cheesecake batter; pour batter into crust prepared pan. Microwave peanut butter until soft; stir into until remaining cheesecake batter and spread pour on top chocolate layer. (If desired, place alternating spoonfuls of chocolate and peanut cheesecake batter into prepared pan and swirl.) Bake cheesecake at 300 degrees for 60-65 minutes or until center is almost set.

Place pan on cooling rack; cool approximately 1 hour. Carefully run a knife around edge of pan and remove sides of pan. Place remaining chocolate chips in bowl; bring cream to a boil and pour over chocolate chips. Stir until chips are melted and mixture is smooth and creamy. Spread chocolate over top and sides of cheesecake. Refrigerate overnight; cut optional Reese Peanut Butter cups into quarters and garnish top of cheesecake. Refrigerate leftovers.
