I was inspired to make these cookies last year when we stopped for a snack while Christmas shopping. I changed a few things when I got home, and my Fudge Puddles became a favorite with my husband's family. —Kimarie Maassen, Avoca, Iowa

Fudge Puddles Recipe

Prep: 25 min. + chilling Bake: 20 min./batch + cooling

Yield: 24 Servings

25 20 45

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
FUDGE FILLING:
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chopped peanuts

Directions

In a large bowl, cream the butter, peanut butter and sugars. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Chill for 1 hour.
Shape into 48 balls, 1 in. each. Place in lightly greased mini-muffin tins. Bake at 325° for 14-16 minutes or until lightly browned. Using the end of a wooden spoon handle, make a 3/8- to 1/2-in.-deep indentation in the center of each. Cool in pans for 5 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
For filling, in a microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir in milk and vanilla until smooth. Fill each shell with filling. Sprinkle with peanuts. (Leftover filling can be stored in the refrigerator and served warm over ice cream.) Yield: 4 dozen.

I made these for my kids every Christmas from the time they came out. We have always loved them!

Made these for church this past Sunday. They were awesome and they were easy to make. I think I will double the amount of the cookie mixture because I had alot of the chocolate left.

I made these for a church "coffee hour" and they were gobbled up immediately. Since there is extra of the chocolate mix and I'm having a potluck at work, I'll be making these again! They're wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. I just may make these over the holidays to share with family and friends, too. They're THAT good.

These have become a staple for my Christmas cookie tray. From the time it was printed as a winner in the magazine, I have been making these! Yummy!

I have been making these fudge puddles for years and have yet to meet someone who doesn't like them!! To make the recipe less time consuming, I insert mini peanut butter cups immediately when taken out of the oven (in place of the fudge filling). Absolutely delicious!!

I have been making this recipe for about 20 years. I first saw it in Country Living Magazine. It is one of my family's favorites.

I made these and took them to work - they were a big hit. Next time I would 1/2 the recipe for the fudge. I will make these again for sure!
