PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE CUPS - Guide Recipe
Peanut Butter Fudge Cups are peanut butter cookies filled with a simple chocolate fudge! Delicious flavor combination in these amazing treats.
Peanut Butter Fudge Cups are a treat I decided to bring to a big family dinner last time , and boy were they a hit! Everyone loved them. The good thing is too , they were super easy to make , so the recipe is a keeper. The recipe has 2 parts- a peanut butter cookie base , then a fudge filling. I separated the ingredients below to make it easier to follow.
INGREDIENTS :
- Cookie:
- 1/2 cup butter , softened {or coconut oil}
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4
teaspoon baking soda
INTRUCTIONS :
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray a mini muffin pan liberally with cooking
- spray. Using a hand mixer , cream butter , peanut butter and white and brown sugars. Mix in egg and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Add in flour , baking soda and salt , stirring until combined.
- Measure out dough into 1 TBSP scoops. {I use my 1 TBSP cookie scoop so this process is super fast!} No need to shape the cookies , just place each scoop in one compartment of a mini muffin tin. Bake for 14 to 16 minutes or until lightly browned.
- Remove from oven and immediately make wells in the center of each using a melon baller or a 1 tsp measuring spoon. Make a good sized well in the center so that you can add a lot of fudge! Cool in pan for 8-10 minutes. Then carefully remove to wire racks. I used coconut oil in my recipe , so the cookies popped out super easily. If you use butter , you should spray the muffin pans well , as instructed earlier , so that your cookies come out easy too! Cool for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- While the cookies are cooling , you can prepare the fudge filling. Combine the chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a microwave safe bowl. Mix lightly and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes. The mixture doesn’t look melted , but give it a few gentle stirs and you’ll see it’s heated well enough. Add vanilla and stir again until smooth.
- Transfer about half the fudge into a quart-sized ziplock bag. Squeeze the fudge into a corner and snip the corner off. Now you can easily pipe the fudge into the cookies! The great thing about this fudge too is that it sets up super fast , so feel free to fill the cookies well , so that the fudge goes above the cookie- it will set up and not run out! If your fudge gets too solid , just pop it back in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
- Heat up about 1 TBSP peanut butter in a small baggie and then drizzled it over the tops of my fudge cups.
