Everyone is making Christmas cookies left and right. But today is a grumpy day for me, lol, so I am making these delicious Peanut Butter Lumps of Coal.
I wanted to try something easy, no bake, and fun!
Look, in life, we have all gotten a lump of coal or two, so why not make ‘em super yummy and sweet!
Actually, I have been making a lot of cookies this week, but they are cookies that I have shared before. But my kids ask for them time and time again, and I wanted to show them something different.
These delicious Peanut Butter Lumps of Coal are super quick to come together.
And I had everything already in the house!
Seriously, not one thing I had to go out for, so that was great because I love using what I already have, and it clears up some space in the pantry.
Once you get everything mixed, just use a cookie scoop and place in your hand and roll each scoop into a small ball and place on a piece of parchment paper.
I melted the chocolate using a double boiler method, and I used two forks to gently cover each ball with melted chocolate, then I gently placed them on the parchment paper to harden up.
I did place them in the fridge to set up for about 20 minutes before serving them in cupcake liners.
This is such a fun idea for the kids to get involved in the kitchen. If my kids were younger, I would have loved to have them help me with this recipe, but my kids are all grown, and only come into the kitchen when food is already done. Yep.
Be sure to try these super simple Peanut Butter Lumps of Coal for your holiday!Peanut Butter Lumps of Coal
