½ Cup Peanut Butter
2 Tsp Vanilla Extract

Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 F and grease a 9” springform pan.
- For the crust, combine the crushed graham crackers with the melted butter. Mix with a fork until well coated. Press the crust down in to a prepared springform pan. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the cream cheese, peanut butter, vanilla extract and sugar. Beat until the mixture is smooth.
