Peanut Butter Lumps of Coal Recipe
This no-bake, easy to make peanut butter lump of coal cookie recipe is a fun update to traditional lump of coal cookies. These peanut butter cookies are soft, moist, delicious, and only 4-Ingredients!
I expected nothing from this recipe when my niece told me we were making these lumps of coal. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised! Not only were these simple to make, they ended up nice and soft and really tasty!
Notes:
● These are lumps of coal, so the less uniform, the better. In other words, do not roll these into a uniform ball.
● If you are not sure how fast the candy melts in your local grocery store turnover, buy some Wilton chocolates. They are a great consistency and generally easier to work with.
● Tip: set the dough in the fridge or freezer for 5 minutes to set. However, you will need to work very quickly with your chocolate on a chilled dough.
● Another tip: if your chocolate melts are not smoothing out as you would like, add a touch of vegetable oil and heat again (this would be the third round).
● Note: You will be tempted to put these in the fridge to dry. Don’t do it. You could get a funky white color on the chocolate candy.
Peanut Butter Lumps of Coal Ingredients:
● 15 oz Peanut Butter Chocolate Sandwich Cookies (we used oreos!)
● ¼ cup Peanut Butter
● 8 oz Cream Cheese
● 20 oz Black Chocolate
Peanut Butter Lumps of Coal Mise en Place:
● Measuring Cup
● Bowl
● Fork
● Wax Paper
● Food Processor
Peanut Butter Lumps of Coal Directions:
● Pulse peanut butter chocolate sandwich cookies in food processor until crumbs.
● Add peanut butter and cream cheese to the chocolate peanut butter cookies; pulse until combined (it should look like a pie crust dough).
● Place a piece of waxed paper down near your work area.
● Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto wax paper. These are not to be uniform (they are lumps of coal), so do NOT roll into a uniform ball.
● Place a cup of black chocolate melts into a bowl. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds, stir. Heat in microwave for another 30 seconds; stir. Repeat a third time. Check the consistency of your chocolate. If smooth, do not heat further. If it still does not stir and drips smoothly heat one more time.
● Drop the chocolate lump into the melted black chocolate. Use a fork to remove the cookies from the chocolate.
● Bounce the fork against the bowl to remove excess black chocolate.
● Place on a clean sheet of wax paper.
● Allow to dry.
● Store in a cool place.
