Cheesecake Cupcakes

By srumbel

These little cheese tarts have appeared at just about every get-together and occasion since my sister first made them when she was married in the late 60's. We have always made them with a regular graham cracker bottom but this time I changed it up a bit by using crushed chocolate graham crackers. Top with cherry pie filling or any other that you like.
