Is there any way to make the crust if I don’t have a food processor?

AIDA says
THIS LOOKS AMAZING…I HAVE A QUESTION…YOU PUT 20 MINI P. BUTTER C UPS IN THE CHEESECAKE PART AND 20 MINI IN THE TOPPING. IS THAT A TOTAL OF 40 RESEES OR 20 IN TOTAL.. AND IN THE CHEESECAKE PART DO YOU PUT THE RESEES RIGHT AFTER TAKING IT OUT OF THE OVEN OR WAIT TIL IT COOLS…
Stephanie Brubaker says
Hi, Aida! It’s a total of 40 Reese’s all together. You will put the ones on top immediately after taking it out of the oven – this way they melt just enough to stick to the top. Enjoy!
