Candy Bar Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups

Chocolate chip cookies are pretty much a staple dessert, right? They are easy to make, and everyone loves them. But take some basic chocolate chip cookie dough, bake it in a muffin cup, and fill it with a mini candy bar, and now you have an over the top awesome dessert! I actually came up with the idea for Candy Bar Stiffed Chocolate Chip Cookie Cups a few months ago when I was trying to get rid of the last of Rachel’s Halloween candy.

You can let them cool and just eat them plain. They are still very tasty.
But they are oh so good served warm with a scoop of ice cream and some chocolate sauce. Oh my, would you look at that? Everyone in my family was grinning from ear to ear when I served these. And licking the melted chocolate off their lips.

Pure chocolate chip cookie joy right there.
