These are great! I just recently was introduced to the idea of cookie cups and I can see making up a few batches of these for friends and family for the holidays. I want to try these with a variety of the mini chocolate candies. I'm thinking that some of the Hershey miniatures like Mr. Goodbar and the Special Dark might work very well, too. Definitely something to keep in mind.
