- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- Mix crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with melted butter and press about 1 tablespoon into the bottom of each liner to form a crust.

- Add the egg, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Fold in mini chocolate chips and M&M candies.
- Spoon the cheesecake batter over the crusts, filling each liner nearly to the top.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until centers are set.
- Let cool completely, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Top with extra mini M&Ms and chocolate chips before serving, if desired.
Notes
- You can use graham crackers or peanut butter cookies instead of chocolate sandwich cookies for the crust.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
