FROZEN PEANUT BUTTER CHEESECAKE

CRUST:
1/3 cup butter
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 1/2 cups crispy rice cereal

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 (5 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
3/4 cup peanut butter
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a heavy sauce pan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate chips.

Remove from heat and gently stir in rice cereal until coated. Press into the bottom and sides of a 9 inch pie plate. Chill 30 minutes.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy.

Gradually beat in condensed milk and peanut butter until smooth. Stir in lemon juice and vanilla.
