I thought the cheesecake needed some more peanut butter.

They tasted okay but stuck to the papers REALLY BAD. Even though I sprayed the papers before. The cheesecake part wasn't very tasty either.

I served this without the whip cream and people were loving it. I love this recipe, it's easy and people enjoy it very much.

I am a huge Reece's fan so I didn't think was quite rich enough with peanut butter. Also as some other reviewers said maybe try to swirl the pb mix into the brownies, because as I discovered it bakes up a little crusty (overdone on top) when yoou sandwich betweeen the batter

Good recipe, very easy to make and a great idea for something to take along to a party or friendly get together.

this is the VERY best way to eat cheesecake....I make this every fall when it starts to get cold, it is sooooo good. I usually put in 1/2 cup of peanut butter just for a little less cream cheese taste.

Awesome! I got 18 cupcakes out of it instead of 20 but it was really tasty and all my friends enjoyed them as well. I did not have any issues with them sticking to the cupcake wrappers. Def would make again!

Very disappointed. Brownies stuck to the papers REALLY BAD!!!Peanut butter cheesecake filling was just odd. Would NOT make this again!

A little bit time consuming, but I'm no master in the kitchen. Everyone at work loved them, I'm not a big peanut butter fan, so I might omit peanut butter next time. Otherwise, very yummy and pretty easy!

I made these for my family and friends and everyone LOVED them...some called them "heaven" and people have asked me to make these again. Really easy to make. Instead of using a boxed brownie mix, I used my favorite recipe. Also, I added more peanut butter than the recipe calls for, for a more distinct taste.
