It was just last year, when we stopped for a snack while Christmas shopping, that I was inspired to make these cookies. 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

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!

I could not find my mini muffin pan so I just made these as thumbprints and filled after baking. I also only used dark chocolate chips instead of both chips - delicious.

These are a hit a pot-lucks and bake sales. You can also use any left over fudge as topping for ice cream.
