Notes
NOTES: You can use smooth or crunchy peanut butter in this recipe, depending on your preference. You can buy regular size Peanut Butter cups and half them, or you can buy bite size if you prefer those to decorate the cheesecake.
ALSO: TO THOSE WITH A PEANUT ALLERGY; You can use WOW BUTTER, instead of Peanut butter in this recipe, and you can choose either smooth or crunchy. If you're not familiar with WOW BUTTER, it's made in a Nut Free Facility, tastes like peanut butter, and is the consistency of Peanut Butter. For the Peanut butter cups, you'll have to either make your own with the WOW BUTTER, melted chocolate and small silicone cups, or choose another way to decorate the top. You can find Chocolate chips, and mini chocolate chips with allergy warnings on them, and you could use those on top of the Frosting. You can typically find Wow Butter with the Jellies, jams, and honey. Wal-Mart does carry it, and most grocery stores as well. You may also be able to order it online.
