sweets: Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Cups

Thursday, March 13, 2014 9 Comments

Let’s be honest.

This is not going make you lose 20 pounds.  But it will fill your belly.

It’s not the slightest bit healthy.  But it is pure delicious joy.

It won’t help you get that job you want.  Well, unless you make them for your future boss.

It had to happen – purely by accident.  I bought the regular size peanut butter cups with the intention to make mini cookie cups.

Well, that’s what happens when you quickly glance at something, and then buy all the ingredients you think you need.  lol.  I was inspired by this recipe on What’s Cooking With Ruthie.  Buuuut I wanted to make the dough from scratch & not use the processed, pre-made tube.

So, I went to the store, got my peanut butter cups, went home, preheated the oven, mixed up the cookie base in the mixer, and then started to read the directions (because how was that peanut butter cup going to fit into that little mini muffin pan hole anyway?!).  Well, duh – that’s what I get!  lol – I was supposed to get MINI peanut butter cups!  It was 9pm & too late for me to run to the store just for mini peanut butter cups.  So, what’s a girl do to – put on her thinking cap & make it work!  Well, it turned into a two day event of experimentation!

I experimented with different temperatures (because I had to upgrade to a regular muffin pan), and different techniques in placing the peanut butter cups in (because it surely didn’t work using the original recipe with my altered ingredients ;).  I was DETERMINED to MAKE IT WORK!  Tim Gunn would be so proud ;)

So, after several small victories along the way, & some minor failures – by golly, I have a new, original recipe for you!  And I thought it “needed” something more…like buttercream frosting… mmmmmmmmmmm.

    Melissa, these look so good. Had to giggle at your intro- clever! I can’t resist Reese cups and was SO happy when I saw the first bag ever being sold here in Costa Rica a few months ago. Love these cookies! I’d even experiment with them and try both your frosting and cream cheese frosting. YUM!

“Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel “Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give.” – Edwin Arlington Robinson

🐕💛🐈

Yesterday, V & her friend volunteered at our local animal shelter to braid beds for the shelter cats.  They then took turns reading to one of the cats, a cat who was having trouble eating that the shelter was hoping the interaction would coax him up & about.

I love that my kiddos have reached that middle school age where they can volunteer more easily without much parental help.  Our local animal shelter allows kiddos to volunteer (with a parent there) at age 10. It’s really rad to see them come into their own with understanding on how to have an active role in participating and volunteering in their community, and what a reward it is to give 🤩

Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.” - Ellen Goodman

🌟Potential.  YESSSSS 🙌🏻 I really like this quote 🌟

🧐🔍Seeing the positive first is a great mantra to have when we tend to automatically gravitate towards things that are negative.

🪄Here’s to a bright 2021 and a purposeful positive outlook. 🎉

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟 🤗 How did you HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟

🤗 How did you celebrate the arrival of 2021? 

🎲We played board games all night (cough cough surprise surprise 🤣) while munching on this charcuterie board.

🥳I surprised Eric & the kids by going all fancy for dinner last night. I wasn’t sure the kids would like the goat cheese (my favorite with fig spread 🤤) so I added some basic cheddar. But they LOVED it - I spread a little on one of the plain crackers with fig spread on top. So good! 

🍈Fig spread, goat cheese, & 2 large crackers is from @wholefoods 
🍇Grapes are from @costco (they have the best grapes!)
🪴Rosemary springs are from our garden.
🧀Everything else is from @traderjoes

Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!! Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!!🤗 (now if all my other mail I’m waiting on would arrive 🧐😩)

🦀🐙🐡I backed Open Ocean from @featherstonegames on @kickstarter this summer.  It’s so incredibly neat to see a game come together from start to finish.

🐠🐟🐬This game is beautiful I can’t wait to sit to play with the kids as they become budding marine biologists.

He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n r He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n roll. - I’m kinda loving him though, my little abstract tree.🎄

🧵Right before my dad passed last year, during my last visit with him, he gave me this giant bag of these vintage-y wooden spools knowing that I’d use them in my art classes or some other creative way. 

🧐As I was lesson planning this weekend the idea came to me when I peeked them in my wood craftin’ drawer - CHRISTMAS TREE!! 

✂️I also have a simpler idea in mind with no wire bending/cutting to try it in my art classes as a kinda ‘extra’ project for early finishers. Stay tuned!

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 I’m grateful th Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 
I’m grateful this Thanksgiving for my Dad ❤️ 

📖📖📖When he was alive I’m not sure I appreciated this book as much, but now that he’s gone it’s made me appreciate him even more that he took the time to catalog all our family recipes into two cookbooks for us to have. 

🦃🍁🍂This Thanksgiving without my mom joining us (she’s with friends this year) I was without her traditional treats like my favorite Pumpkin Cheesecake.

💪🏻So I attempted that (my first cheesecake EVER!) and Tussies (mini pecan pies) from scratch using my families recipes.  I’m so excited to dig in today and the whole time making them made me feel extremely #grateful for my Dad & all he did for his family. 💕
