They’re pretty much the most addictive thing you’ll see on the internet this week.

With just a few ingredients and no oven required, you get irresistibly delicious homemade chocolate candies stuffed full of unbaked cookie dough.

Try bringing them to a party, and watch as everyone in attendance becomes your new best friend.

The cookie dough cups travel well and can be left out of the fridge for a few hours without melting, making them an ideal choice for any gathering.

On second thought, you might want to skip the party and keep these babies all to yourself!

Step Three – Divide remaining chocolate on top of each spoonful of cookie dough.

Return to the freezer to set.

Once the cookie dough cups are hardened, you can carefully peel the wrappers off before serving if you wish.

They can also be left out for a few hours on any not-super-hot day.

Cookie Dough Peanut Butter Cups

Total Time: 15m

Ingredients

  • 1 can (or 1 1/2 cups cooked) white beans or chickpeas
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter or allergy-friendly sub
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, honey, or agave
  • 1/2 cup quick oats or flax
  • scant 1/4 tsp salt
  • heaping 1/8 tsp baking soda (this gives a cookie dough flavor)
  • 6 oz melted chocolate chips + optional 2 tsp oil
  • optional mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Make the cookie dough: Drain beans, rinse extremely well, and pat dry. Process all ingredients except the chocolate, oil, and chips in a strong food processor until completely smooth. Stir in a handful of mini chocolate chips if desired. (Some readers say a blender works, but try that at your own risk. Taste and texture will be much better in a food processor.) Carefully melt the chocolate so it doesn’t burn. I like to stir in the optional oil for smoother chocolate sauce. Add around 1 tsp chocolate sauce to the bottoms of mini cupcake liners, then freeze about 5 minutes to set. Add about 6g cookie dough dip (1-2 tsp) on top of the hardened chocolate, then top with 1-2 tsp more chocolate sauce, and immediately freeze.

      I am wondering the same thing Lori?

      1. Alex says:

        I made half a batch and probably would have gotten around 40 but I got tired of making them and ate the rest of the dough like cookie dough dip. The ones I did make were delicious though!

  6. Peanut Butter & Ellie says:

    I MUST make and eat these ASAP. Oh my goodness, they look amazing.
    Plus, I’d feel good eating most (okay fine, all) of them because the cookie dough is made with beans… so it’s healthy! 😉
    I’ll let you know when I make these! 😀 I can’t wait.
