A Candy Bar Dessert That Knows Exactly What It’s Doing
This dessert works because every layer does something different. The peanut butter cheesecake is smooth and creamy, the caramel adds deep sweetness, the peanuts bring crunch, and the chocolate topping ties it all together.
It has all the best parts of a candy bar, but the texture is even better here. You get cool, fluffy filling, a soft caramel layer, crisp peanuts, and a firm chocolate top in every bite.
Here is how it all comes together:
- Beat Biscoff spread with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light
- Mix in eggs, vanilla, buttermilk, and maple syrup
- Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a separate bowl
- Combine wet and dry ingredients just until smooth
- Bake until the center is set and the cake no longer jiggles
- Simmer butter, brown sugar, cream, vanilla, and Biscoff spread into a silky toffee sauce
- Poke holes all over the warm cake and slowly pour the sauce on top
- Let it rest so the sauce can soak in before slicing
I love this for birthdays, potlucks, and holiday tables because it feels fun and a little nostalgic. It also happens to be easy to make ahead, which is always a win with a chilled dessert.

WOW that all sounds to god to be true. But you got me I am going to make it for girls night. But does everything have to be “Dairy Free” can I use the regular ingredients? Or does it have to be Dairy Free?
Thank You for your time and kindness.
Thank you! This can be made with full dairy products.
I want to make this for sure!
Now, I’m wondering though, won’t the warm chocolate melt the cheesecake?
Love hearing this! The chocolate will be warm but not super hot and it wont melt the cream cheese layer. Once your done assembling place in the fridge for a little bit to set up.
Did I read that right a Tablespoon of vanilla extract for the PB cheesecake layer….. seems a bit excessive?
Hello, Yes that is correct for dairy free cream cheese. It helps cover the flavor of DF cream cheese. If you are using full dairy cream cheese I would recommend 1 tsp. Thank you!
