Notes

  • Use your favorite chocolate for the ganache, whether it’s sweet or dark.
  • Feel free to use a chocolate Oreo cookie crust instead of graham cracker.
  • Use any brand of peanut butter cups; Trader Joe’s or Reese’s work well.
  • Full-fat cream cheese is recommended for its creamy texture.
  • Prepare ahead and store covered in the freezer or refrigerator, adding fresh whipped cream on the day of serving.
