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
