  3. For filling, in a microwave, melt chocolate chips and butter; stir until smooth. Stir in sugar, egg and vanilla. If desired, stir in pecans. Spoon into cups.
  4. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 30-35 minutes. Cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool. If desired, top with cherries.
