Ingredients
For the Donut Sandwiches:

- ½ cup creamy or chunky peanut butter
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup crushed Reese’s cups (or similar peanut butter cups)
For the Peanut Butter Drizzle:

How to Make Peanut Butter Cheesecake Donut Sandwiches
1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a medium bowl, beat together:
- Softened cream cheese
- Powdered sugar
- Vanilla extract
Fold in crushed Reese’s cups for that irresistible peanut butter-chocolate crunch. Chill for at least 30 minutes to thicken up.
2. Slice and Layer the Donuts
- Carefully slice each chocolate-glazed donut in half horizontally.
- Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on the bottom half of each donut.
3. Fill with Cheesecake Mixture
- Once chilled, spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling generously over the peanut butter layer.
- Top each with the upper donut half, pressing gently to sandwich.
4. Make the Drizzle
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine ¼ cup peanut butter and 2 tbsp milk.
- Microwave for 15–20 seconds, stir until smooth. Add extra milk if needed to reach a drizzling consistency.
5. Drizzle and Decorate
- Drizzle over each donut sandwich.
- Sprinkle extra crushed Reese’s on top for the ultimate finishing touch.
Serve immediately for maximum gooey goodness!
Tips for Success
- Chill your cheesecake filling thoroughly so it holds its shape.
- Use good quality donuts—preferably fresh and slightly firm.
- Add crushed pretzels, chopped peanuts, or mini chocolate chips for extra texture.
- Store leftovers (if you have any!) in the fridge for up to 2 days.
