Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Peanut Butter Cups.
Uh. Yeeeeeah.
These are like… of that caliber.
And that totally almost happened to me. You PROBably should not make these if you are home alone for four days. Word to the wise, FYI.
I ate what felt like a million, then had a plate of 5-day old green bean fries from the fridge and called it lunch. I do not recommend this. The leftover green bean fries – not the cookie dough cups.
I definitely recommend those.
For lunch.
Face? Meet peanut butter cookie dough cups.
Inhale.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Peanut Butter Cups
[cookie dough adapted from cookie dough dip]
makes 24 cups
2 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
In a small saucepan, heat butter until melted. Whisk in brown sugar until dissolved, then let it bubble for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in peanut butter. The mixture will be liquidly. Whisk in vanilla. Let sit and cool completely, about 20 minutes.
Line a mini muffin with with liners. Melt 1 1/4 cups of chocolate chips (I do mine in the microwave, heating on full power for 20 seconds, stir, 30 seconds again, and stir until melted). Drop 1/2-1 teaspoon of chocolate into each liner, then use a pastry brush to brush chocolate up the sides of the liner. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes. By this point the butter + sugar mix should be cool. Whisk in powdered sugar, salt and flour, until combine and few lumps remain. Fold in mini chocolate chips. The dough will be wet, but pop it in the fridge for 15 minutes to harden.
Remove muffin tin and cookie dough, then place 1 teaspoon of cookie dough (I somewhat rolled mine) into the chocolate cups. Place back in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. Melt the remaining chocolate chips, then cover each cookie dough top with chocolate, smoothing with a spoon. Freeze again for 15-20 minutes. These are fine out in room temperature for a few hours (they may soften a bit) but I like them best stored in the fridge.
Note: I’m sure if you temper your chocolate and let it sit at room temperature these will harden without the freezer, but this is what works for me best.
Sigh.

sounds amazing, i can’t wait to try! as I’m english I’m a little confused over the amount of chocolate chips, what does 21/2 mean? x
2 1/2 = 2.5 or two and one-half cups of chocolate chips.

Did you use regular cupcake liners? Silicone? Parchment Paper? Thank you!
When you let the butter and brown sugar bubble, do you whisk it? Or should I just leave it alone and let it bubble?

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER have flour in a recipe where the final food is eaten raw. There is too much risk of poisoning by e coli and salmonella, and if your recipe makes someone very sick or kills them you are liable.
Switch the flour out for something that can be ground to a powder, such as peanut flour (more peanutty taste!) that won’t be so likely to contaminate your food.
Thank you
The reason you are not supposed to eat raw cookie dough is the uncooked eggs; it has nothing to do with the flour. Eggs of birds and reptiles CAN (as in “are able to,” not “are guaranteed to”) contain salmonella, which is why we are discouraged from consuming raw eggs. E. coli, on the other hand, is transmitted through the meat of animals that have contracted the bacteria from their own droppings, or meat which has come into contact with the bacteria during processing. Neither of these bacteria can be transmitted via flour unless the flour has been in contact with raw eggs or raw contaminated meat. I wonder where you heard that about flour because it’s just not true. In fact, flour can be eaten raw with virtually no side effects aside from a dry mouth and dusty flavor. And as there are no eggs or contaminated meat in this recipe, it is perfectly safe to consume with virtually no risk of contracting salmonella or E. coli.

I too must know where on earth you have heard this. I’ve never even heard an old wives tale to support this and my mother was the kind to put butter on burns.
