Directions:
FOR THE CRUST
Heat oven to 350.
Place the oreos in a food processor and blend until completely chopped.
Mix the chopped oreos with the melted butter.
Press the oreo mixture into the bottom of a buttered 9 inch spring form pan.
Bake for 5 minutes.

FOR THE CHEESECAKE
In a mixer with the paddle attachment, blend the cream cheese and the sugar until smooth.
Add in the salt, vanilla, eggs and sour cream - blend until smooth.
Divide the cheesecake batter evenly between two bowls.
In one bowl mix in the peanut butter.
In the second bowl, mix in the melted chocolate.
Place the peanut butter cups in the bottom of the pan with the oreo crust, as many as you can fit!
Pour the chocolate cheesecake mixture over the oreo crust and the peanut butter cups.
Carefully pour the peanut butter cheesecake mixture over the chocolate cheesecake mixture.
Bake for 45 minutes (cheesecake will still be jiggly after 45 minutes, that is okay)
Chill the cheesecake for 1-2 hours. Then carefully remove from the springform pan.

FOR THE GANACHE TOPPING
Heat the cream in a small sauce pan until it just starts to bubble.
Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips - let sit for 5 minutes and then whisk until smooth.
Carefully pour chocolate ganache over cooked and cooled cheesecake.
Let sit in the fridge for 1-2 hours before serving.
