Peanutty-Cocoa Marble Cheesecake

This recipe is one I got from Hershey's Chocolate. I think a ganache topping would be perfect.

1-1/4 cups vanilla wafer crumbs
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
3/4 cup peanut butter chips, chopped

Combine wafer crumbs, cocoa, confectioner's sugar, and melted butter. Stir in chips. Press onto bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

3 8-oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon vanilla
3 eggs
3 tablespoons flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1-1/4 cups peanut butter chips
1/4 cup milk

Prepare crust and set aside. Beat cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar, sour cream and vanilla in large mixer bowl until light and fluffy. Blend in eggs and flour. In a separate bowl, mix cocoa, 1/4 cup sugar and the oil with 1-1/2 cups of the cream cheese mixture. Melt peanut butter chips with milk in top of double boiler over hot, not boiling water. Gradually add to remaining cream cheese mixture. Beat 5 minutes on high speed.

Spoon peanut butter and cocoa mixture alternately onto prepared crust, swirl with knife or spatula for marbled effect.

Bake at 450 for 10 minutes, without opening oven door, decrease temperature to 250 and continue to bake for 30 minutes. Turn off oven, and let cheesecake remain in oven 30 minutes without opening door. Remove from oven, cool completely. Chill thoroughly.
