NY-Style Cheesecake with Peanutty Crust

Can a person have enough cheesecake recipes? I think not!

Ingredients
3/4 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
1-3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1-1/4 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
3 packages (8 oz. ea.) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream

Directions
Preheat oven to 325°.
For crust, in mixing bowl, with electric mixer, beat 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter, graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 egg until smooth. In 10-inch springform pan, evenly press crust into bottom and 1-inch up the sides.
Meanwhile, in mixing bowl with electric mixer, beat cream cheese, remaining 1 cup sugar, vanilla and sour cream until smooth. Add remaining 3 eggs, one at a time, and continue beating until fluffy. Pour into prepared crust.
Bake 1 hour or until center is almost set. On wire rack, cool 1 hour. Refrigerate 3 hours or overnight. Just before serving, melt remaining 1/4 cup Peanut Butter and drizzle over cheesecake.
