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.
Butterfinger Cookie Cups
Ingredients
- Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, (recipe here)
- Mini Butterfingers, (or other candy of your choice)
- 1/3 cup Chocolate Chips
- 1/3 cup Peanut Butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a mini muffin tin with non stick spray.
- Press 1 heaping tablespoon of cookie dough into each mini muffin tin. Bake for about 12 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and press candy into the center of each cup. Cool for 5 minutes in pan. Remove onto wire rack to cool completely. Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter together. Drizzle melted chocolate over each cookie cup. Allow chocolate to harden before serving.

These look so gooey and tempting, Erin. Great flavors melded here!
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!
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!
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.
My kids would be thrilled if I made these for them.
these are too cute! i made candy bar blondies with all my leftover chocolate from easter – posting that recipe later this week. i love butterfingers 🙂
Those look so good–I could easily eat several of them. Congratulations on regaining your running time!
Yay for being back to running!! and yay for these cookie cups! I wann stuff a few in my face!
These cookie cups look too good to be true – I suppose it is definitely more creative than stuffing my face with leftover candy 😉
Cheers
