Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Baking Pan: Line an 8” x 8” baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.
  2. Make the Oreo Crust: Pulse the Oreo cookies until fine crumbs. Melt the unsalted butter and mix with the cookie crumbs. Press into the pan.
  3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in peanut butter, milk, flour, and vanilla. Fold in chopped Oreos.
  4. Combine Layers: Pour cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading evenly. Bake for 45-50 minutes until edges are slightly browned.
  5. Cool and Chill: Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours until fully set.
  6. Prepare the Ganache Topping: Heat dark chocolate and heavy cream in intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over the bars.
  7. Slice and Serve: Slice chilled bars with a hot knife for clean edges and enjoy!
