Ingredients
  

Crust:

  • 2 cups Cheerios
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tbsps creamy peanut butter

Filling:

  • 6 oz cream cheese
  • ⅔ cup light/dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Blend the Cheerios and peanut butter together in a food processor or high speed blender until the peanut butter is evenly mixed into the cheerio crumbs.  Press the crumbs into the prepared pan to create a thin, even crust. 
  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and brown sugar together until smooth.  Add the peanut butter and salt and mix well.  Add the heavy cream, ¼ cup at a time, mixing very well in between each addition.  Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula.  Add the vanilla and mix very well until light and fluffy.  It should be a mousse-like consistency.  Pour and spread the filling over the crust and chill in the freezer for about a ½ hour or until the filling is set.  Slice and serve. These bars are not the sort of bars you can grab and eat with your hands, so be ready with plates and spoons/forks. Keep these in the fridge at all times except for serving and eating.  Enjoy!
