Peanut and Caramel Cookie Cups

These chocolate chip cookie cups are topped with peanuts, caramel, and chocolate thanks to a Snickers® mini candy bar. These are so tasty and easy to make!

If you’re looking to make something simple that everyone will love, cookie cups are the way to go! They combine two treats: a cookie and a piece of candy. What makes them extra special is the texture. Baked in a mini muffin pan, the cups come out dense and rich, with every bite filled with something good!

And if you’re wondering if we’ve made cookie cups before, the answer is yes! So if you want to make an entire cookie box filled with these, you can!

• Rolo Cookie Cups
• Peanut Butter Cookie Cups
• Peanut Butter and Pretzel Cookie Cups

Two Ingredients are All You Need

• Chocolate chip cookie dough. I like to use pre-made dough. Look for the packages that make 24 cookies. If you prefer to make your own, use about a tablespoon of dough per cup. 
• Snickers® mini candy bars. If you can’t find these, cut a fun size Snickers® into 2 or 3 small pieces.

How to Make These Easy Cookie Cups

1. Place chocolate chip cookie dough into a well greased mini muffin pan. 
2. Bake until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. 

3. Remove the pan from the oven and immediately press the unwrapped Snickers® mini bar into each cookie. 
4. Let the cookies cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before you remove them

Tips and Tricks

• Grease the mini muffin pan even if it’s a nonstick pan. These cookies will stick to ungreased pans－even if it’s nonstick.
• Unwrap the candy before baking the cookies. You need to press the candy into the hot cookies. Having them unwrapped is key.
• For extra peanuts, sprinkle some chopped peanuts onto the top of warm chocolate.
