- 30 chocolate sandwich cookies
- 5 Tablespoons butter melted

Instructions
- In your food processor, crush your cookies into a fine crumb. Stir melted butter into the cookie crumbs until combined.
- Press into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Place into the refrigerator to set up while you prepare your filling.
- In a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer, beat together the peanut butter and cream cheese until smooth. Mix in the powdered sugar.
- Slowly add the whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- Spread cheesecake into the prepared pan. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the toppings.
- In a medium mixing bowl using an electric mixer prepare the buckeye candies by mixing the powdered sugar, peanut butter and butter together until a dough forms.
- Roll the buckeye dough into 10-12 balls. Place onto a parchment lined tray and place in the freezer for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the almond bark in 30 second intervals in the microwave until smooth and melted.
- Spoon half of the chocolate onto the top of the cheesecake and spread almost to the edges of the cheesecake.
- Using a toothpick, dip each of the buckeye candies into the melted chocolate and place back onto the parchment paper.
- Make the frosting by using your electric mixer to blend the peanut butter and powdered sugar together. Add the heavy whipped cream.
- Pipe the frosting into 8 dollops around the cheesecake. Place a buckeye on each frosting dollop.
- Place the cake into the fridge to chill for 10 minutes. Slice and serve!
