Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
- 12 bite-size peanut butter cups

- 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or almond extract
- 2 eggs
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place a paper cupcake liner in each cup of a standard muffin pan.
To make crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter until crumbs are moistened. Press crust into bottom of each muffin cup. Put 1 peanut butter cup into the center of each crust.
To make the filling: Beat cream cheese with a handheld electric mixer until fluffy. Add sugar, flour, and vanilla, beating well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Spoon cream cheese mixture over peanut butter cups and graham cracker crusts. Bake until just set, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely before serving.

Made this for the Superbowl, and man, did they dissapear quickly. I did alter the recipe to make mini cupcake sizes with the new mini peanut butter cups. I also made a topping by whipping cool whip and 3 tbsp of creamy peanut butter, then piped it on.

These were delicious and relatively easy to make. I made a double batch, which left me with the right amount of cheese cake, but a crazy amount of crumbs. I had to add more butter to them, and I had so much extra I actually made a pie crust out of them (so it wasn't a total loss. I thought that the tops were a little plain, so I poured some chocolate ganache on the finished cakes, which made them even better. The only thing I might change if I do it again is the peanut butter cup. It was nice inside, but it was a little small, I might use some other sort of peanut butter chocolate candy. Overall though, this is a great recipe.
