Only 6 ingredients to make these delicious milk chocolate cookie butter cups

Cookie butter cups

Let’s just pretend for a moment that Halloween wasn’t like less than a week ago and everyone is sick of candy…

Because these are basically a homemade mash-up of two types of candy bars-Reese’s cups and Crunch bars.

But here’s the good news. There is Cookie Butter inside of these chocolate cups. And I’m pretty sure there isn’t any Halloween candy that has cookie butter inside. Oh, and as far as I’ve seen, a Reese’s-Crunch combination hasn’t hit candy shelves in stores. (Not yet, anyways.)

But I’m keeping my eye out for it, because this is seriously a winning combination. Crunchy milk chocolate with creamy cookie butter interior…Mmmmmm.

How to make cookie butter cups

You’ll start by melting chocolate with coconut oil (or shortening or vegetable oil) in the microwave. To get the “Crunch” bar texture, you’ll add just 2 tablespoons of rice krispies. You’ll want to spoon out an equal amount of chocolate-rice-krispie mixture into the bottom of each mini muffin. Gently tap the muffin tin to get rid of any air bubbles and get the chocolate totally smooth.

While that’s setting up, combine the cookie butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. It will look too powdery and be hard to stir at first, but keep at it. Continue stirring and smashing the cookie butter and eventually you will get a thick cookie butter dough .

. (Fair Warning: Here’s where self-control is going to have to kick in.) You’ll pinch off little bits of the dough and roll it into 12 small and equal balls to then slightly flatten and put on top of that bottom chocolate layer before you eat it all. Two tips here: first, make the balls more of an even disc shape , and second don’t make the cookie butter discs too wide. For the chocolate to completely encapsulate the cookie butter mixture, if needs to be smaller than the edges of the muffin tin.

Melt the rest of the chocolate with coconut oil and pour an even amount on top. Chill until they are set up and then you can enjoy them!
