Ingredients
  

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

16 oz cream cheese, softened

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Pinch of salt

Optional: Chopped peanuts for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

    In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

      Evenly distribute the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each muffin liner, pressing down firmly to form a crust.

        In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy (about 2-3 minutes).

          Gradually add in the granulated sugar, continuing to beat until fully combined.

            Mix in the peanut butter, followed by the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, mixing until just combined.

              Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crusts in the muffin tins, filling each liner about 3/4 full.

                Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly jiggly.

                  Remove the cheesecakes from the oven and allow them to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.

                    Once chilled, drizzle the cheesecakes with caramel sauce, and top with chopped peanuts if desired.
