I’m not really a lover of surprises, unless of course it’s a food surprise! And especially when that food surprise involves chocolate in unexpected places, well..not just chocolate, but REESE’S!
How much more awesome could Cheesecake possibly get? This dream has a crust made of an entire Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup On. The. Bottom?! Sooo, not much I tell ya! 🙂
Creamy Cheesecake, topped with a dusting of nutty Graham Cracker Crumbs & Sweet Chocolate Chips, all resting on top of a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Crust! ~Simply Divine! 🙂
What you’ll need:
1 Box of JELLO instant NO-Bake Cheesecake Mix (Feel free to make your own no-bake Cheesecake)
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (one per each Cheesecake)
1 Cup of Mini Chocolate Chips..for sprinkling on top.
Approx. 1 Cup of Graham Cracker Crumbs (either store bought, or you can crush your own..or use the enclosed bag of crumbs from the boxed No-Bake Cheesecake Mix)…for sprinkling on top.
Paper Cupcake Liners
A Cupcake pan
Directions:
Mix up the no-bake Cheesecake according to the box directions..or make your own fave recipe…
Unwrap the Reese’s and REMEMBER TO REMOVE THE BOTTOM PAPER!
Drop one Peanut Butter Cup down into each paper liner and pour the Cheesecake Mix onto it…
Into the fridge to chill for at least one hour!
Sprinkle them with the Graham Cracker Crumbs and/or Chocolate Chips!
Serve those sweet surprise bottom Cheesecakes up…
Take a bite and be amazed! ~Enjoy! 🙂
O.M.G. and WOW!!!!! The only appropriate comment along with a “thank you” for coming up with this amazing dish!
Reeces + cheesecake, OMG!!! Just pinned!
Wuh? I think I’m in love! Nom nom nom!

I cannot wait to make this for Christmas Eve! Silly question, do you put toppings on before you refridgerate or when you’re ready to serve?
Before..that way they can set up! 🙂 No such thing as a silly question! 😉
Oops, just in case there is confusion, by “toppings” in this question I thought you meant the no-bake cheesecake topping?! If you meant the crumb topping, that would be as the directions state: after the cheesecake has been chilling on the Reese’s for at least an hour in the frige..then top away! 🙂
How many Reese cups did you need?? I am so making these tomorrow!
It’s one cup per each one! So just fill your cupcake tin with as many as you’d like! 🙂
What topping is mixed with the mini chocolate chips to place on top of the cheesecake mix? Is it the graham cracker bottom crumbled up?
What’s that other crumbly stuff that you put on the top besides mini-chocolate chips?
How many graham crackers do you crush for the topping? Do you just mix them with the 1 cup of chocolate chips and sprinkle it on top?
How do you make the topping? They look so beautiful and delicious..
How many calories per serving?
I just tried these tonight! They may not have turned out as pretty as yours, but they were darn good! 🙂
It’s all about the taste..so happy you enjoyed them! 🙂
This is genius! I’m very sad to have developed an allergy to peanut butter.
I’ll make it for my kids.
DK: my son is allergic to peanuts as well. There is a product out there called Suncups. They are made with Sunbutter and are exactly like Reese’s peanut butter cups. They taste delicious and you would never know its not peanut butter. The Sunbutter is made from sunflower seeds. You can order Suncups (and also Sunbutter in a jar that can be used in place of peanut butter) from http://www.peanutfreeplanet.com. I have been ordering off their website for years and you will find hundreds of products on there that you probably thought you had to give up because of your allergy. Hope that helps.
I also have a food allergy…it not to peanuts or peanut butter but to the preservatives in it..so I use Natural Jif or Skippy or Peter Pan…and I have an epi pen because I never know which preservative will kill me, there are so many in foods!
For those who are going to make this, don’t bother to buy graham crackers as the no-bake cheesecake already has a bag of broken up graham cracker crumbs that come in the box. Otherwise, a genius recipe! So simple and delicious.
Do you put the graham cracker crumbs & choc. chips on AFTER they’ve been in the fridge an hour?? Or before??
After! 🙂
In my original answer above I misunderstood and thought they were reffering to the Cheesecake topping. They meant the crumb topping and that will go on as the directions state: after the no-bake cheesecake has set up for at least an hour in the fridge…sorry for the confusion! 🙂
How many did the above quantity make? Did you use a 12 or 24 count muffin pan?
I used 12. 🙂
Have you ever done the little mini cups with little Reece’s . Thought it would be good for a shower.
I haven’t, but that sounds so cute!!
Boy are my threes sons and threes grandsons going to love these! Thank you!
Can you use the premade cheesecake filling you can buy in the refrigerated section?
Yes..even better! 🙂
Can these be frozen?
Hmmm..not sure on that?!
