Rick’s birthday was last week, and he loves peanut butter and chocolate like I love cats. Except I don’t usually eat cats. Keeping this in mind, I asked him if he wanted chocolate peanut butter cookie dough cupcakes for his birthday dessert. He said yes. So I made them, following this recipe from Gimme Some Oven that I found on Pinterest.
I didn’t take pictures of my own cupcakes. They weren’t this pretty, anyway.
The best part was the eggless peanut butter cookie dough “frosting.” You’ll just have to trust me when I say that it tastes way better than it looks based on my food photog skillz.
Note to self: use this dough at the next baby shower where they want to play the guess-what-delicacy-is-in-the-diaper game.
We had a whole bunch of the dough leftover, so I decided to freeze it into tiny dough balls so that we could make our own peanut butter cookie dough ice cream. Because I love chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, and, really, why hasn’t anyone invented peanut butter cookie dough ice cream? Maybe I will market it and make millions. I need to work on how my peanut butter dough balls look, though, because nobody wants to eat things that look like turds. Except me, obviously. But that goes without saying.
Yum, turds.
Are you a chocolate-peanut butter fan? What’s your favorite flavor of ice cream? Who wants me to market my peanut butter turd dough ice cream?
I'd eat your turd ice cream.
ReplyDeleteToday is going downhill fast...
If you sell it, I will buy it. Those cupcakes look dangerous.
ReplyDeleteDeliciousness!! My favorite flavor is anything fudgy, chocolatey, moose tracksy, peanut buttery!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! These look/sound absolutely beyond delicious! Definitely going to have to give them a try! ;)
ReplyDeleteYum! My favorite ice cream is definitely cookie dough =)
ReplyDeleteYou had me at cookie dough...the turd thing didn't even phase me.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness.... YUM!

Not a fan of peanut butter in any of its forms. But my family loves it, so I may just have to make these. Love the cookie dough ice cream idea. I see $$$$ in your future!!
ReplyDeleteYUM, yum, yum! I'm definitely feeling heavier.
ReplyDelete:) I gave Kev the choice of the cookies and creme or chocolate PB cupcakes (completely expecting him to go with the PB). He picked the C&C, though, and I'm glad he did. I had a traumatic peanut butter experience as a kid and have never gotten over it.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, they look delicious!
This actually happened: I'm sitting here, reading your post, enjoying myself when the mention of turds comes up. And come on, turds are funny in any context. And then you said "yum, turds." and I laughed out loud and my co-worker needed to know what was so funny and I had to admit to reading about edible turds at work. :/
ReplyDeletebahaha surely your co-worker can also appreciate a good (bad) turd joke?
DeleteI normally don't like peanut butter unless it's the crunchy kind... but chocolate chips? Anything with chocolate I am willing to devour :)
ReplyDeleteI feel the need to let you know that that is the PRECISE color of Mila's dirty diapers.
ReplyDeleteStill, I'd eat 'em.
Yum! That looks super delicious! Even if the balls do look a little like turds ; )
