DAY 22 RECIPE: CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE

Well, Here it is! So Yummy, So delicious! Decadent and not too difficult. I did not feel like making a big dinner of any sort, really I just didn't feel like cooking tonight and dealing with all that comes with that. SO, we had some nice snack type food. Cheese, crackers, deli meat, lots of veggies and dip. Very nice.So the recipe tonight is not a dinner recipe, but a dessert recipe (my favourite part of dinner). The only thing is, if you are going to make this, I would try to make sure you have whipped cream. I did not have any tonight, so I was so sad, but definately up lifted and happy to eat this deliciousness anyway! The whipped cream is a nice garnish, so would be some mini peanut butter cups....mmmmm. ENJOY!
