Directions:
Preheat oven to 300º F. Combine crackers, melted butter, and sugar. Press into the bottom and 1 inch up sides of a 9-inch springform pan; set aside. In bowl beat 1 package cream cheese with electric mixer until smooth. Beat in peanut butter and 1/4 cup sugar until combined. Fold in 1 lightly beaten egg; set aside. In saucepan stir chocolate over low until melted and smooth. Remove from heat. Cube remaining cream cheese; add to chocolate. Stir to combine. Stir in milk and vanilla until smooth. Fold in 2 lightly beaten eggs. Spread half the chocolate mixture into the pan. Carefully spread all the peanut butter mixture over layer. Evenly spread remaining chocolate mixture. Bake 45 minutes or until top is set when lightly shaken. Outer 2 inches of top will be slightly puffed and dry-looking; center will look darker and wet. Cool on rack 15 minutes. Use small sharp knife to loosen crust from sides; cool 30 minutes. Remove sides of pan; cool completely on rack. Cover and chill 4 hours. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with peanuts.
