Chocolate Cookie Cups
I have a super delicious new 3-ingredient recipe for you. I’m kind of excited. It’s also one of the easiest ever, but it will impress your friends, I promise. But I’m getting ahead of myself. This weekend had so much adventure, I can hardly blog about it all.
Saturday afternoon, we had a Virginia Bloggers meet up at Kabab Grille. I ate way too much food, because it was absolutely amazing. I knew nothing about Pakistani food, but since we tried it at the Vegetarian Festival, and the people we’re super friendly, we decided it would be a great place to have a meet up!
Bloggers are such a fun bunch, I love them! It was so nice to official “meet” so many bloggers that I feel like I already know!
The food was delicious, and I can’t tell you how awesome the service was. They just kept bringing us dishes to try! Since they have a lunch buffet, it’s a great way to check out a lot of different types of food. They explained each dish to us so we knew what we were having. I loved the chickpeas, and the zucchini dish was similar to what they served at the Vegetarian Festival, which I had been obsessing about! It was so tasty!
For a full recap on the meet up, check out my post on VirginiaBloggers.com!
Sunday afternoon was the annual Carytown Watermelon Festival, which means there are tons of people eating watermelon and trying to stay cool in the heat. Always a good time!
The watermelon was good, and we also got a bag of kettle corn which was quite delicious. It was dreadfully hot though, so we stayed just long enough to say hello to Brian, Leney, and Larissa, and then we headed back to my house to get water!
Now about those cookie cups…
Despite the craziness of the weekend, I did take a few minutes to whip up the easiest dessert ever. And that’s saying something, considering most of my recipes are super easy.
Cookie Cups
Makes about 8 cups
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 1/2 tbsp Cookie Butter (or Biscoff Spread)
- Pinch of sea salt
Ready for how easy this is? It’s kind of ridiculous. Melt your chocolate in the microwave, stirring frequently so it doesn’t burn. Line a mini muffin tin with mini muffin liners. Drop 1 tsp of chocolate into each cup. Top with 1 tsp of cookie butter. Top with a remaining tbsp of chocolate. Sprinkle a tiny bit of sea salt on each one. I promise, the sea salt makes all the difference. Pop it in the freezer for about an hour, or until hardened. Whip out some homemade chocolate like you spent all day in the kitchen. Wham. Obviously, you could do this with peanut butter, but cookie butter is just so much fun.
OMG I’m totally pinning this Cookie Cup recipe! I’ve been looking for something quick and easy to do with Cookie Butter. I’m starting to feel a little guilty just spooning it straight out of the jar 😉
Oh good lord those would be dangerous. I’m trying to stay away from cookie butter (damn sugar content), but I think if I just had *one* of these, I’d be okay 🙂
I love how easy your recipes are! I also love that man’s beard.
Oh that looks delish. I recently discovered cookie butter, but haven’t bought any yet – I’m not sure I’ll have enough control if it is in my apartment! 🙂
I love that you guys have “blogger” meet ups. I wish we did something like that in the Boston area.
How fun! I’d love to meet other local bloggers in person also! I’m actually excited about an event called dishcrawl that I’ll be attending soon! Looking forward to meeting other local foodies ;).
Watermelon festival sounds soo refreshing! I would’ve had to run to the restroom around the clock..but I’m willing to deal with that.. more watermelon please!
And yes!! Remember how I encountered a jar of Biscoff Spread last week? Well, I’ve just been licking it straight from my finger..Can’t wait to try this recipe!
Pakistani food is really amazing – I love all the spices and dipping and legumes *yum*!
And funny, I made up pretty similar PB Cups once – Just added some coconut oil, and used crunchy PB. But really – they are a quite endengared species in my fridge 🙂
So, I’m unfamliar with cookie butter. Is that yet another thing you get a Trader Joe’s?
Yep! It’s Trader Joe’s version of Biscoff Spread. If you don’t have a TJ’s close by, you can order Biscoff at Amazon!
Great to meet everyone too! Thanks for organizing!
I love sea salt on chocolate! Excellent idea to sprinkle it on these cookie cups 🙂 It always looks like you have so much fun at your blogger meet ups! It is incredible how many of you there are 🙂
Well you know what they say… Virginia is for Bloggers 😉
Yum! This looks delicious! Imagine how fun it would be to make peanut butter cups, cookie cups (and maybe another version), tumble them all into a bowl and have yourself a cup russian roulette!
Haha that would be the most delicious roulette ever!
No bad options, yay!
