These were really good. I made them for a Christmas party and they were perfect! I used Christmas cupcake liners and the cherry pie filling. They looked and tasted amazing! I will use this one again for sure.

We loved this! My GD and I made a batch to take to a family picnic and they were a hit. Easy to make, nicely portable, and not too hard to control the portions. LOL! I made them as written, with the cherry pie filling, and just spooned out 3 cherries and some sauce over each one. Yum! Next time I'm using kiwi and blueberries and I'll make a glaze. Can't wait! Thanks for the good recipe, BB

I made these wheat- and gluten-free by using Mi-Del GF gingersnaps (added a nice zing). Instead of using pie filling, I warmed some currant jelly and spooned it over the top. Yum! Great party snacks, and yet portion-controlled.

This is a great recipe, was easy and fun to make. I used strawberry filling and drizzled the top with chocolate . They were a hit at my christmas party.
