Can I use different kinds of donuts?

Totally! Glazed donuts are a classic here, but chocolate, maple, or even filled donuts (hello, jelly!) could be fun twists. Just keep in mind that filled donuts can get a little messy once sliced.

What’s the best chocolate for drizzling?

High-quality chocolate chips or melting wafers are your best bet for a smooth, glossy drizzle. Milk chocolate adds sweetness, while dark chocolate balances things out if you prefer a richer flavor.

Can I make these ahead for a party?

Yes! Assemble them a few hours ahead and store in the fridge until serving. The chocolate will set nicely, and everything holds together beautifully. Let them sit at room temp for 15 minutes before serving for best texture.

What if I don’t like peanut butter?

No worries swap it out! Almond butter, Nutella, or cookie butter all work like a dream. You can also skip the Reese’s and use chocolate chunks, M&Ms, or caramel candies instead.

Instructions

Make the Filling
In a bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Fold in the crushed Reese’s cups, then refrigerate the filling for 30 minutes to firm it up.
Assemble the Sandwiches
Slice each donut in half horizontally. Spread a layer of peanut butter on the bottom half of each donut. Spoon or pipe the chilled cheesecake filling over the peanut butter, then place the top half of the donut back on to form a sandwich.
Prepare the Drizzle
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine ¼ cup peanut butter and 2 tablespoons of milk. Microwave for 15–20 seconds until warm, then stir until smooth. Drizzle the peanut butter mixture over each donut sandwich.

Serve and Enjoy
Serve immediately for a gooey bite, or chill in the fridge for 15–20 minutes if you prefer a firmer texture. Garnish with extra crushed Reese’s cups for an extra indulgent finish!

Notes

For clean slicing, freeze donuts for 10 minutes before cutting.
Use a piping bag for the cheesecake filling for a neat, bakery-style look.
Swap chocolate glazed donuts for plain or maple glazed for variety.
Store assembled sandwiches in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Add chopped peanuts or sprinkles on top for added crunch and color.
