We had yet another flag football game last night. I am so torn about the football schedule. It is about 6 weeks long, but they have 2 practices a week, and then usually 2 games. Part of me wishes they could space out the games, so it wasn’t so busy. But on the other hand I am not sure I could do this for 10 weeks!
Yesterday also marked another highlight for me. My running is back! Moving to Colorado really hurt my time. I was 40 seconds per mile slower for the last 4 months. It has not been fun. But I am finally back. My last 2 runs have been back to my pre-move time! Now I am excited to start adding distance. I can’t wait to run this summer while visiting my parents in Wisconsin to see what my time will be 🙂
Ok, so onto the food. I used Butterfinger mini’s for these, but you could use any mini candy bars. I don’t know about you, but I still have lots of Easter candy that would be great for these. Snickers, Twix, Peanut Butter Cups, heck even M&M’s would work. Want to make it even easier? Use store bought chocolate chip cookie dough.

I love this. I have mini muffin pans and am always looking for quick and easy things to make with them for the family. Congrats on the running time finally getting to where it’s supposed to be!
Eva says
What a decadent little snack. I really wouldn’t dare have them in my household, with just the two of us, and virtually no willpower, they would be on my hips in no time! Good luck with the football, 6 weeks isn’t all that bad.

So cute, Erin! I love it all – the butterfingers, the peanut butter-chocolate drizzle, and the cookie cups!
Kim Bee says
These are adorable Erin. These would be great to bring to any dinner party. My kids were after school activity addicts. There were days I had to be in two places at the same time. While you’re doing it, it feels like too much. But later on you’ll look back and be glad you gave them the opportunities you did. I pulled my hair out during those years, now I look back on it and smile.
Pam says
My kids would be thrilled if I made these for them.

Choc Chip Uru says
These cookie cups look too good to be true – I suppose it is definitely more creative than stuffing my face with leftover candy 😉
Cheers

These look beyond yummy!! Wow! I bet the butterfinger gets more “melty” and delicious too. 🙂 Congratulations on your running time… I wish I was a runner too. I just never had the stamina. Now I know how you stay so slim with all these great sweets around! 🙂

Running at altitude is super fun, right? No. Great job getting your time back though. You’ll run like the wind when you go home! These cookie cups look awesome! Can’t wait to try.

Jen at The Three Little Piglets says
I still remember when my son tried all the sports. Between the bugs, the hot Georgia sun, and my other kids, sitting on the sidelines was no fun at all. I silently thanked God when he told me he didn’t want to play anymore!
Crystal @ A Lovin' Forkful says
Whoa! Talk about yummy. Great decadent recipe.
Alyssa says
I am so NOT a runner. I used to run on the treadmill in FL just to try to get and keep the baby weight off, but I haven’t been keeping up since we’ve moved. Good for you though, getting back to your original run times! And these look so over the top good. I agree with your son in your last post, you make the best homemade stuff! 🙂
Anita at Hungry Couple says
Oh, soooo tempting! 🙂
