I wasn't a big fan of the chocolate peanut butter mousse, but the cheesecake layer was delicious.

This cheesecake was so easy to make and it turned out so well! I used a store-bought chocolate peanut butter cup filling and it was perfect. I will definitely be making this again.

I made this cheesecake for my husband's birthday and he loved it! The crust was perfectly graham crackery and the filling was smooth and fluffy. I will definitely be making this again.
