Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Filled Chocolate Cupcakes

This cupcake is ridiculous. It’s got something for everyone! Delicious and moist chocolate cake, eggless peanut butter cookie dough and toasted marshmallow “frosting”. YUM. I don’t know what I was thinking when I created this because it is a little over the top, but oh well! The chocolate and peanut butter are {of course} a great combination, and the toasted taste of the marshmallow with the peanut butter cookie dough is awfully good too. Kids LOVE these! My nieces and nephews ate two of these cupcakes each! And, I warn you: if you do not like marshmallows, then you’re probably not going to like these. Sorry! 🙁

This isn’t a hard recipe to follow but it is a little time consuming. You have a few steps– 3 to be exact– but it’s totally worth it! Step 1: make and bake your cupcakes. Step 2: make and fill your cupcakes with peanut butter cookie dough. Step 3: melt, top and toast the marshmallows on top! That’s it! Like I said, not hard to do, but just a little time consuming!

As I was taking pictures of these treats, my little one snuck in and was trying to sneak a few bites! She loved them too!

    Heey,

    They look delicious! Can’t wait to try them out this weekend.
    One question though. Can I use “Marshmallow Fluff” (in a jar) instead of buying and melting marshmalows?

    xoxo

  2. Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Filled Chocolate Cupcakes — Cupcake Pictures

    […] by admin What’s better than eating cookie dough? Eating cookie dough that’s been placed inside of a cupcake! It sounds slightly illogical, but is technically possible, not to mention tasty. These treats involve a three step-process that starts with baking standard chocolate cupcakes. The egg-less peanut butter cookie dough goes into the cupcakes after they’re removed from the oven (and you get the bonus of being able to eat the “plugs” of cupcake that you remove to make space for the cookie dough.) Instead of frosting, melt a marshmallow and “smoosh” it onto the top of this goodie! Source Laurens Latest […]

    Girl, I don’t even like peanut butter that much (I know, what’s wrong with me?), but those look amazing.

    P.S. Your little girl is adorable. She’s like a mini version of you!

    Fantastic! I’m in love with this recipe because it allows the home cook to make the cupcakes I often see in my favorite bakeries. This is a must-try!
