Peanut Butter Cookie Cups-A mini peanut butter cup surrounded by peanut butter cookie, a double treat!
I know I’ve been absent. I’m sorry.
It happens every year. I get into the Holiday “funk” right before Thanksgiving. Why is it that they mush 3 great holidays into a 60 day period? Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. All great holidays on their own.
Poor Thanksgiving this year isn’t even getting the time of day, coming so close after Halloween. I’m so glad we don’t have one of those huge get-togethers with 25 other people, all trying to cram around a few tables, no room to move, and by the end of the meal, everyone has forgotten why they were really thankful to be there in the first place.
Don’t get me wrong. We still do the big meal, Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, beans, corn, rolls and whatever else the hubby finally decides he wants.
And of course dessert. That we have about 3 hours after the meal. It’s me, hubby, the kids and my mom. We all fit nicely around the table. We’ll all be able to talk to each other and remember what we’re thankful for.
As soon as all the dishes are washed and the turkey has been striped for meat with the carcass on the stove simmering up a beautiful broth, Christmas is on.
My tree will be set up in the living room, waiting patiently for decorations, hubby will start setting up his village. The stockings will be hung and over the weekend, we’ll get the outside decorations up.
You all remember my trauma as a child about Thanksgiving and dessert at my Grandma’s. For this reason, I always make sure I have an abundance of kid friendly choices at my house.
I’ll pull out some Chocolate Chip cookie dough out of the freezer and bake up a few trays, Turtle Bark will be present, I’m trying out a new fudge recipe tomorrow and these Peanut Butter Cookie Cups.
Kids like food with candy in it. Fast and easy to make and only one round in the oven. I was done from start to finish in less than 30 minutes.
I want to wish all of you a safe and blessed Thanksgiving. I’m so grateful you come to spend time with me here on my blog.
A few tips. Place Reese's cups in the freezer 30 minutes prior to using. If you'rte having trouble removing cookies from the muffin tin, slide a thin knife around edges then it should pop right out.

I know where you are coming from Joan. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday but it does seem to get swallowed up by Christmas. We were hearing Christmas music in the stores while shopping for Halloween costumes. I hope that you and your family enjoy your day and these yummy desserts, they look sooooo good! Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks Becky, I love the season, but I like to slow down and enjoy all my holidays, hope you had a good Thanksgiving!

I know what you mean about Thanksgiving getting the shaft. And it was worse than ever this year. It makes me so sad! But these cookies make me happy again. Or they will, once I make them. And the husband will be happy, too.
These look yummy!! I recently had something similar but they used chocolate chip cookie dough as the outer cookie.
I’m thankful for these. I just made them, but with peanut/cashew butter… and yum!!
Dang girl, way to make me have to whip out the stretchy pants.
These look delicious! Can’t wait to try them 🙂
These look delicious!! I’ve had something similar with a Hershey’s Kiss in the center but you upped the ante with the PB Cups – YUM!!! Lindsey @ If I Had a Million Hours…
