"I'm a busy schoolteacher and pastor's wife who always looks for shortcuts," relates Kristi Tackett of Banner, Kentucky. "I wouldn't dare show my face at a church dinner or bake sale without these tempting peanut butter treats. They're quick and easy to make and always a hit."

these were sooo good! make sure to spray the muffin tin well though. i used the new extra-small reeses which don't have wrappers. after the first one melted down, i added another one. it looked good and was extra chocolately :)

i have not made this cookie but i wondered why you would leave the wrapper on. i think this would get in the way of eating it.

Super easy and super delicious! Made them last year and already bought the ingredients to make them again!

No need to press cookie dough up the sides of the pan; just press the peanut butter cup down into the mini muffin-works great!

I made these today with my own cookie recipe and sugar free pb cups as DH is a diabetic. He tells me they turned out really well. 'Don't loose that recipe!' is his quote.

I made these to take to a Christmas luncheon at work & they were raved about! I used my own peanut butter cookie recipe, rather than the mix, great results!

I haven't tried this particular recipe yet but I've made them for years using a roll of refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough. Cut the roll into 1" thick pieces, cut each piece into 4ths and drop each one into mini-muffin pan. Cook according to pkg. directions. Have PB cups unwrapped and immediately upon removing from the oven, place 1 in each cookie. I usually use a knife to sort of work them up around the choc. for looks. Also seems to help the choc. edges melt better. Avery

Using a roll of chocolate chip cookie dough works well too!
