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 don't refrigerate them, but they don't usually last very long anyway. They are fantastic.

I am looking forward to trying these. Do they need to be kept refrigerated?

I agree with the "yummy". These cookies were a bit hit. I also had trouble filling. I will try the ziplock idea next time.

I would think you could press the dough up the sides of the cup before hand and place the melted chocolate into a ziplock bag with the corner cut off and pipe in the filling.
