Take 5 Cheesecake Cups in 5 Steps

Cheesecake is my favorite dessert of all time. Take 5 is my favorite candy of all time. So, when I saw a pin by Love Candy on Pinterest called Easy Reese Bottom Mini Cheesecake Recipe (link to recipe), I had an epiphany: Love Candy's recipe was only 3 ingredients away from combining both of my favorite desserts into one!

I give you Take 5 Cheesecake Cups

Steps:
1. Place Reese's peanut butter cup at bottom of cupcake paper
2. Mix together Jell-O No-bake cheesecake, as the box states. Spoon over Reese's in the cupcake paper
3. Drizzle with caramel (I used Smuckers caramel sauce for ice cream)
4. Crush a handful of pretzels and peanuts and sprinkle over caramel
5. Top with mini semi-sweet chocolate chips and a pretzel for garnish

The result? Feast your eyes:

Don't worry too much about the amounts... just use your gut and it'll turn out well. One box of Jell-O No-bake cheesecake yielded 10 cups and I just grabbed small amounts of the additional ingredients to sprinkle on top.
