With these you get a soft peanut butter cookie, coated with a chocolate and peanut butter coating, then its dipped in powdered sugar to replicate that same muddy buddy flavor. I considered adding in some Rice Krispie cereal or crushed Chex but wasn’t sure if they’d retain their crunch so I just opted to leave them out. They are perfect as they are.
Finding the best way to coat these cookies in chocolate took several different attempts. Then it finally hit me, why not just coat one side at a time? I found it to be the way that not only worked best, but it also created the least amount of mess. I tried adding them to a bowl and tossing them with the chocolate coating but the cookies just quickly began to fall apart. So, I then tried coating each cookie entirely with chocolate one by one and quickly found myself making the biggest, chocolatey mess I’ve probably ever made in my kitchen in the history of my life (not to mention I was covered in chocolate, my shirt, my pants and I wouldn’t be surprised if I even managed to smear some across my face).
I of course also managed to drop the chocolate covered icing spatula and as seemingly in slow motion I watched the runny mess flick across the kitchen cabinets, slide down my pants and land while streaking itself across the kitchen tile. If only you could all see the messes I manage to create in the kitchen (I say that with my head shaking and my eyes rolling :). Me and those dishes are not friends I tell you. For these cookies though, I’d make that mess again any day! And at least next time the mess should be much smaller now I’ve found a better way to coat them. My family loved these soft, peanut buttery, chocolate kissed delicacies and I have the feeling your muddy buddy loving family will too. Enjoy!
