Photo: Peanut Butter Cheese Cake Minis Recipe
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
Filling:
- 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.

Simple recipe! Taste good just a little too sweet for me...next time I think I'll try less sugar! I had to add a little extra melted butter to the crust since it was a little dry. I didn't get any cracks in them which is always a plus :

Fairly simple recipe. Turned out well. I followed the advice of previous reviewers and added a tablespoon of butter to the crust and tamped it down to create a solid base. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly as written. I was able to make 12 regular muffin size and 12 mini size out of one batch. I did not put the candy in the minis. As far as the cracking of the tops, in my opinion that just makes them look homemade. ;= The next time I make these I will double the recipe and freeze a batch.

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.
