Ingredients
- Servings: 16
- 16 chocolate sandwich cookies (such as oreo®)
- 16 chocolate-covered peanut butter cups (such as reese's®)
- 1 (12 ounce) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons shortening
Recipe
Preparation Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 3 mins
Ready Time: 48 mins
- line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
- split each sandwich cookie open using a paring knife, putting as much filling as possible on one side of the cookie. arrange cookies on a microwave-safe plate. place 1 peanut butter cup on the filling-side of each cookie; cover with the remaining cookie top.
- heat cookie sandwiches in the microwave until chocolate is slightly softened, about 5 seconds. press cookie sandwich firmly together to adhere both sides of the cookie to the peanut butter cup.
- place chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. microwave on high for 1 minute, remove, stir, and repeat in 30 second increments until chocolate is smooth and melted.
- dip each cookie sandwich in the melted chocolate mixture, completely covering in chocolate. allow excess to drip off before placing on waxed paper-lined baking sheet. hide any finger prints on the cookies with extra melted chocolate. freeze the 'hockey pucks' until chocolate is hardened, at least 30 minutes.
