Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Cups

I've been really into bite-size desserts lately (the mini devil's food cupcakes with coconut cream frosting; the little sugar cookie fruit tarts). I think people are more likely to eat (and enjoy!) desserts when they're not super large and guilt-inducing. This recipe is quick-and-easy (it would even be great for kids to make!), and it's one I come back to again and again!

Recipe adapted from an old Pillsbury recipe pamphlet.

Ingredients:
1 16oz tube of refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough
36 mini Snickers bars, unwrapped
36 mini cupcake papers 
3/4 cup fudge frosting

Directions:
1. Cover each mini Snickers with a heaping tablespoon of cookie dough, rolling between your hands so the Snickers bar is completely surrounded by dough. Place dough-covered Snickers bars into mini cupcake papers in mini muffin tins.
2. Bake at 375 for 9-14 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool completely.
3. Pipe fudge frosting onto each cookie cup, and serve!
