How long will peanut butter cheesecakes in jars keep in the refrigerator?

I keep my cheesecakes in jars in the refrigerator for up to a week. They never last that long but I found they will be at their optimum for up to a week after placing them in the fridge. 

Can peanut butter cheesecakes be frozen?

Cheesecake does very well in the freezer. Just be sure to wait to add the pretzel garnish until after they thaw. I have found that the pretzels become mushy after bring in the freezer.

I pull my cheesecakes in jars out of the freezer a day in advance and allow them to thaw in the refrigerator for a day.
