This was unbelievably easy and wonderful! Place in a mini Valentine cupcake paper and when warm from the oven, press a Reese's pnut butter cup, then drizzle with Hershey's syrup - decadent!

What a great recipe! These flew off the buffet table in minutes. The Nilla Wafers I bought didn't fit in the papers I had, so I crushed them in the food processor with a little melted butter and pressed them in the cups to make a crust. I'll do this next time because they held up perfect. I topped some with cherry pie filling and some with caramel and chocolate drizzle. Thanks for posting this recipe. I'll be using it often.
