Though these tasted ok, I had a few problems with them. First there wasn't nearly enough batter to cover the reeses which would have looked better. Secondly, my cheesecakes didn't come out of their wrappers so easily, so mostly we just ended up eating the cheesecake and the reese cup and not the graham crust.

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
