Are you ready to take dessert up to a whole new level? Chocolate + Peanut Butter + Cookie Dough – need I say more? Enter – Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Cups.
Is there a certain way you eat certain foods? Anytime I eat a Reese’s peanut butter cup, I gently poke out the middle and eat that first then eat the edges. I like to say that is quirky (my bf thinks I’m weird). Then you have those who just bite a string cheese instead of pulling them into little strings are monsters! There was a recent Buzzfeed article that my bf and I were laughing at of how people eat certain foods. We’ve concluded that they just can’t be trusted. Just kidding, but in all seriousness who actually eats those foods like that?
Back to these Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Cups. They are combining my all of my favorite treats into one: chocolate + peanut butter + cookie dough .. need I say more?

The base of the cookie dough is my favorite chickpea combination. The key is peeling the skins from the chickpeas to create a creamy cookie dough. I know this step might be tedious, but don’t skip it!
I recently invested in a silicone mini muffin pan. The first round I made these, I used a regular muffin tin and used mini muffin liners. Now this way does work, but it is a little messier evenly lining the muffin liners with the chocolate and peeling them off when they are done. The silicone pan makes it so much easier, plus quicker clean up!
Is there a certain food you eat a unique way?
