Reese's Stuffed Monster Cookie Cups

WE'VE MOVED! Now redirecting you to our new page.

Some recipes are the ripe, succulent fruits of pure inspiration. (Apple Pie Babycakes) Some recipes are the product of craving (PB&J Pretzel Swirl Brownies) or commission (Pumpkin Whoopie Pies). Some recipes are made for an occasion. (Chocolate Pumpkin Cheesecake Layer Cake) Some recipes are what happens when a "What if...?" actually reaches fruition. (Childhood Sandwich Supreme Cupcakes) And some recipes happen because you have surplus ingredients lying around leftover from previous projects that you're sick of looking at in the pantry and just want to get rid of. Irritation is the mother of invention, as they say. (Wait. That's not what they say? Oh. Well. Never mind.)

These fall into the final category.

Peanut Butter Blossoms

These cookies are infused with generous quantities of peanut butter, butter, sugar, and tradition. We've made them by the Christmas cookie tin-ful ever since I can remember. They're classic, like the flavor combo they create. Forget the tree, the Christmas season doesn't really start until we've made our first batch of peanut butter blossoms.

These are the quintessential epitome of the Christmas season, even if the peanut butter chocolate combo isn't exactly super seasonal. But it is made seasonal by these cookies. Also peanut butter chocolate is ALWAYS seasonal.

Duh.
