Peanut butter makes just about any dessert better, like these peanut butter chip cookies, peanut butter blueberry cookies and these peanut butter chocolate bites. These cookies are absolutely for the Reese’s candy peanut butter lover. Instead of pressing pb cups into the cookie dough, this recipe actually stuffs a homemade creamy peanut butter mixture and a chocolate ganache inside the cookie cup! The cookie base of this recipe is from my famous Kroll’s Kookie recipe. Essentially, you make the cookie dough and leave out the chocolate chips, fill muffin cups with the dough, bake them and lastly fill with peanut butter and chocolate. It’s simple, fun to make, and tastes just like a Reese’s candy! These cookies are great for the holiday season or really a perfectly delicious cookie to enjoy year round. I know you’re going to fall in love with them!
Cookie dough: You’ll make the same exact recipe for Kroll’s Kookies, but leave out the chocolate chips. Peanut Butter: Use a regular creamy peanut butter for this recipe, such as Skippy or Jif. Dark Chocolate: you’ll need a dark chocolate to make the chocolate topping. Semi-sweet chocolate also works well too. Heavy cream: the heavy cream is used to make the ganache (For tips on making ganache I recommend this blog post or this one is helpful too!) Confectioners sugar: sifted powdered sugar gets mixed into the peanut butter to make the peanut butter filling Butter: a little butter is needed for the peanut butter filling as well.
