Ingredients
  

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup sugar

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/2 cup caramel sauce (divided)

Pinch of salt

Chopped peanuts (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners for easy removal.

    Make the crust: In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner to form the crust. Bake for 5 minutes then remove and let it cool.

      Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add in the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and fluffy.

        Whip the cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the peanut butter mixture until just combined, being careful not to deflate the cream.

          Assemble the cheesecakes: Spoon the cheesecake filling over the cooled graham cracker crusts, filling each cup almost to the top. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce over the cheesecake filling for added flavor.

            Chill the mini cheesecakes: Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours, or until the cheesecakes are set.

              Garnish and serve: Once set, carefully remove the mini cheesecakes from the muffin tin. Drizzle additional caramel sauce on top and sprinkle with chopped peanuts for an extra crunch.

                Enjoy: Serve chilled and savor the combination of peanut butter and caramel flavors!
