These don't last long when I make them. They are eaten quickly! Not hard to make either.

These cheesecakes are outstanding and are fun to take to a party because they're easier to pick up and eat than a slice of cheesecake. They're also a lot less work than making a big cheesecake. I like to chop up the peanut butter cups because it makes the cakes prettier not to see the tops poking out. You can make a ton of variations of this recipe. I've put jam, fruit, chopped Heath or Hershey bars, M&Ms, or chocolate chips as a filling.

My cupcakes are in the oven right now so I haven't tried them yet, but the only problem i came accross is that I didn't have enough filling! I doubled the recipe and wasn't even able to fill the cupcakes to the level of the reese's cups. I had to remove 2 of the cupcakes from my pan. Other than that, I had no issues. Also, I think the butter to graham cracker was perfect, it's supposed to be moist to press down on the pan and that's exactly how mine turned out. I am excited to see how they taste!

This recipe makes at least 12 miniature cupcake cheesecakes or 6 regular size cupcakes. I would use less butter in the crust. Also, in the miniature size, I would cut the Reese Cups in half.

These little cheesecakes are so good and so cute! Rarely do I get to bring some home if I take them somewhere. I'll also sometimes switch out the peanut butter cups for caramel filled dove chocolates, also really good!

I doubled the recipe and the only issue I had was the butter to graham cracker ratio for the crust. It seemed like there was way to much butter so I evened it out with more graham crackers. These were a hit at work and are a definite keeper! Simple and tasty.

I have made these a few times and bring them to work and my husband takes them to work. They are definitely a keeper. Even our Purolator deliver guy has asked for the recipe. It's a new favorite in our house. Bev Johnson
