Reese’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Bites
Do you love quick and easy recipes like me- then these Reese’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Bites are going to be your new BFF?
The combination of chocolate and peanut butter is a personal favorite, but stick it in a warm and chewy chocolate chip cookie and this dessert takes a leap to epic level proportions!
It never fails, my kids tell me minutes before they are having a group of kids come over or that they need something for their bake sale at 8 PM the night before!
So, what do you do? Well, I have a couple of tricks up my sleeve for exactly this occasion.
One of my go-to cookie recipes, when I am in a pinch, is our 3-ingredient cake mix cookies! These will literally be ready in under 15 minutes!
But, if you are looking to take your cookie hacks to the next level, I will tell you a little secret… I keep a container of refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough and a bag of Reese’s Bite-Sized Peanut Butter Cups in case of a dessert emergency! These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Bites will be the best seller at your next bake sale!!
Looking for another great chocolate peanut butter cookie? Our soft and chewy, Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies (aka Hershey Kiss Cookies) are the perfect treat to satisfy your chocolate peanut butter fix!
More in a brownie mood? Our Peanut Butter Brownies are soft and chewy and swirled with creamy peanut butter!
That’s right – we have all had dessert emergencies, but if you keep these two items with you at all times, you will always be prepared for that dreaded occasion.
How did I learn about this “always be prepared for dessert” hack?
So the other night we went out to dinner with our friends, Danny & Sherrie. We decided to go back to their house for dessert – Sherrie said she could whip something up.
We told her we didn’t want her to go through the trouble, we could just grab something on the way – she swore to us it really wasn’t any trouble.
So when Sherrie pulled these Reese’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Bites out of the oven I begged her for the recipe!
When she told me the recipe I couldn’t believe it -not to mention my recent obsession with bite-sized anything!!! (When they are bite-sized the calories don’t actually count – true story!!)
I get asked all the time what kind of mini muffin pan I use because my cups pop out so easily. I live for anything silicon and this is the muffin pan I use!

Can use pie pan or a regular muffin pan? Or a silicone candy mold
For sizing purposes, I recommend a mini muffin pan. You can use a non-silicone pan, just be sure to really spray it with non-stick spray so they don’t get stuck.
Can use pie pan or a regular muffin pan?
Wondering if you need to make a well in the ball of cookie dough for the Reese’s cup to sit down into? Or do you have to mash it down inside the baked cookie dough?
So I kind of push the cookie dough down into the muffin cup and put the candy on top of it. You can form it around the cup and place it in the middle if you prefer.
I sounds fantastic! What could be better than peanut butter and chocolate.
Oven temp?
It depends on what type of cookie dough you are using. I mention to follow what it tells you on the package. It is typically 350 degrees. Enjoy!
Can I use a different candy as my granddaughter has a peanut allergy?
Trader Joe’s has mini sunbutter cups that we love! My daughter has a peanut and tree nut allergy too so I just substitute sunbutter for peanut butter ;~)
Are you to take these out of the pan before you put the candy in them?
Nope. Place the candy in them as soon as they come out of the oven.
I wanted to know the answer to this too. Can you BUY cookie dough? I don’t cook, so how do I get it without making cookies?
You can get pre-made cookie dough at the grocery.
Really? Awesome!
Is there a recipe for the cookie dough? What if I don’t have access to ready made cookie dough I see in the pictures
You can use ANY cookie dough recipe!
Can’t get any easier than this and they are great!
