1No-Bake Buckeye Cheesecake Bars
PHOTO: ERIK BERNSTEIN; FOOD STYLING: RILEY WOFFORD Buckeyes are a beloved truffle made of a rich peanut butter filling and dipped in chocolate. It’s similar to a homemade Reese’s in the easiest way possible. This no-bake cheesecake might be even easier. The cheesecake is lighter and creamier than the truffle, but still has all of the peanut butter and chocolate elements you love.
