Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.

2. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the ingredients until smooth and creamy.

3. Gently fold in the crushed Reese’s cups using a spatula.

4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step helps the filling firm up slightly, making it easier to pipe or spread.

Step 2: Prepare the Donuts

1. Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully slice each chocolate-glazed donut in half horizontally.

2. Spread a thin, even layer of peanut butter on the cut side of the bottom half of each donut. This layer not only enhances flavor but also helps anchor the cheesecake filling.

Step 3: Assemble the Sandwiches

1. Once the cheesecake filling has chilled, either spoon it directly onto the peanut butter layer or pipe it using a piping bag for a cleaner presentation.

2. Use a generous portion of filling—this is the star of the dessert.

3. Gently place the top half of the donut back on, aligning it neatly for an appealing look.

Step 4: Make the Peanut Butter Drizzle

1. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and milk.

2. Microwave for 15–20 seconds, then stir until smooth.

3. If the mixture is too thick for drizzling, add a few extra drops of milk until you reach the desired consistency.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

1. Drizzle the warm peanut butter mixture over the top of each donut sandwich.

2. For extra indulgence, sprinkle additional crushed Reese’s cups over the top.

3. Serve immediately while the drizzle is still slightly warm for the ultimate texture contrast.
