Cooking Directions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 24 mini muffin cups with cooking spray or shortening. Cut cookie dough into 24 slices. With floured fingers, press 1 slice in bottom and up side of each mini muffin cup, forming 1/4-inch rim above top of cup.
  2. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until edges are deep golden brown. Cool in pans on cooling racks 5 minutes. With tip of handle of wooden spoon, press dough down in center of each cup to make room for 2 tablespoons filling.
  3. Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, melt vanilla baking chips and 3/4 cup of the peanut butter over low heat, stirring constantly. Divide mixture evenly into cookie cups (about 1 tablespoon each). Refrigerate 10 minutes.
  4. In same 2-quart saucepan, melt chocolate chips and remaining 3/4 cup peanut butter over low heat, stirring constantly. Divide chocolate mixture evenly on top of peanut butter mixture in each cup (about 1 tablespoon each). Sprinkle crushed granola bars over top of each. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. Remove from muffin cups before serving.

Yield: 24 servings

  • Incredibly Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This is an incredibly awesome dessert!. Everyone wants to know how to make these very easy treats. The filling is very creamy and smooth. The only thing I have changed is too slightly reduce the filling and only use 1 package of granola topping.

    Simple and delicious! I just loved these little guys. Unfortunately they were gone in less than a day and I didn\'t have the ingredients to make more....but I\'m making them again tonight!

    Like another review said, I had leftover filling (both chocolate and vanilla). Tonight I plan on reducing the amount of filling I make.

    Other than that, these cookies are spectacular!
