This happened when I couldn't decide what to bake for my husband's birthday. I made all of his favorites in one. Deliciousness from top to bottom!

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Who knew pecan pie, cheesecake, and a bit of peanut butter would create an amazing dessert? The bottom crust is crunchy and buttery. Chocolate and peanut butter chips add pops of flavor to the sweet and tangy cream cheese layer. On top is a sweet and nutty pecan pie. Topped with a cinnamon-spiced buttery crumble, this is a match made in heaven. It's a decadent treat for the holiday season.

How To Make chocolate peanut butter pecan pie cheesecake bars

1
The Crust: Preheat your oven to 350 F. Spray an 8 inch brownie pan with cooking spray and layer the bottom with parchment paper. In a large bowl, bring together all crust ingredients (except the cinnamon). Mix with your fingertips until it's all crumbly. Set 1/2 cup of the crumbles aside. Press the remaining crumbles into your brownie pan. Bake for 20 minutes.

2
Pecan Pie and Cheesecake Layer: In a medium bowl, bring together all pecan pie ingredients. Stir until well combined and set aside. In another medium bowl, bring together all cheesecake ingredients. Mix with an electric mixer until well combined; set aside. Mix cinnamon into the crumbles that you set aside earlier.
3
Finishing up: After pre-baking your crust, sprinkle chocolate and peanut butter chips over the bottom.
4
Spread cream cheese mixture over it.
5
Top with pecan pie mixture.
