Prep: 1 hour | Cook: 1 hour 40 mins

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

4. For the chocolate section, place chocolate morsels in the top of a double boiler until melted. Beat the cream cheese at high speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add sugar and mix well. Add eggs, one at a time and mix until thoroughly blended. Stir in melted chocolate, cocoa, and vanilla. Mix until well blended. Set aside.
5. For peanut butter section, mix cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add sour cream and cottage cheese and mix well. Stir in peanut butter, brown sugar, and vanilla and mix well. Add egg whites and mix until thoroughly blended.
6. Pour half of the chocolate mixture over the crust. Pour the peanut butter mixture on top of that and spread lightly until you cannot see any of the chocolate mixture. Spread the remaining chocolate mixture on top of peanut butter mixture until completely covered.
7. Bake at 300 degrees for one hour and 40 minutes.
8. Let cool. Cover with chopped up chocolate peanut butter cups.
