Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Package Goya Maria Cookies *7 oz package
  • 1/2 cup Smooth Peanut Butter *You can add as much- or as little- peanut butter as you prefer.
  • 1 Bag Milk Chocolate Chips *This is approximately 2 cups. Note: you can generally use any other chocolate you would like for this recipe.

Equipment

  • 1 Microwave-safe mixing bowl *Or a double boiler for melting the chocolate.

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Slowly melt the milk chocolate chips in the microwave. Stirring at thirty second intervals so as not to burn the chocolate. Set the melted chocolate aside.
  3. Open the package of Goya Maria cookies. Take one cookie and spread approximately 1 Tablespoon of peanut butter on it. (Note: I like my cookies to be full of peanut butter- so I can really taste the PB once it is coated in chocolate- but you can put as much peanut butter as you like).
  4. Then, place another Goya Maria cookie on the top of the peanut butter. Now you have created a peanut butter cookie sandwich.
  5. Dip the peanut butter cookie sandwich into the chocolate. You can either dip half of the cookie in the chocolate, drizzle the chocolate over the tops of the cookies, or completely cover and coat the sandwich cookie. This part is up to you and your personal taste/imagination.
  6. Place the chocolate covered cookies on the lined baking sheet. Allow the chocolate to harden. You may also place the cookies in the refrigerator to speed up this process.
  7. Once the chocolate is dry, the cookies are ready to be eaten. Note: If placing in the refrigerator to chill, I recommend taking them out a few minutes before serving- as slightly room temperature chocolate seems to taste better in my opinion.
  8. Enjoy with a glass of milk or a cup of hot English tea!

Notes

*If you like, you can also add a sprinkle of sea salt to the tops of the chocolate cookies before the chocolate is dry. This adds a salty element to complement the sweet chocolate and creamy peanut butter.
