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)

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! 🙂
oh wow, these look amaaaazing. i’d love these with a glass of milk after dinner. yum!
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.
What a fun recipe! This is my kind of treat. Yum.
your cookie recipes are all so tempting, great treat.
This recipe is so fun! Butterfingers are my favorite, so these are right up my alley!
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!
Whoa! Talk about yummy. Great decadent recipe.
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! 🙂
Oh, soooo tempting! 🙂
