Peanut Butter Cup Stuffed Oreos

Sometimes you just need a decadent, chocolate smothered treat but your standard choc biccies just won’t do. Luckily I’ve found the answer  – amazingly devilish Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup stuffed Oreos!

I spotted this idea over on Recipe Boy a few weeks ago and knew it was something I just had to try. The concept is simple – cut an Oreo in half, chuck a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup inside and dip in chocolate for a mega-indulgent-super-treat.

I made a few minor tweaks to the recipe as I was making them – here’s what I did:

1. Separate the two sides of an Oreo cookie using a sharp knife. This leaves you with one iced and one non-iced side – this didn’t bother me, so I used one cookie per treat.
2. Break a block of good quality chocolate into pieces and melt. Add a teaspoon of oil to the chocolate and mix until well combined*
3. Drop a small blob of chocolate onto one of the separated Oreos. Unwrap a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup and place on the cookie, using the chocolate to lightly hold the pieces together.
4. Place a drop of chocolate on the top of the Peanut Butter Cup and press the other Oreo cookie piece on top.
5. Roll the sides of the stuffed Oreo in the chocolate, making sure it’s entirely covered. Turn it over and dip the bottom, then the top before placing on a sheet of baking paper.
6. Smooth any gaps in the chocolate (left from where you held it while dipping) and decorate with a sprinkle of hundreds-and-thousands. Place in the fridge to set.

* Why add oil? I know it sounds gross but the oil thins the chocolate and lengthens setting time making it much better for dipping!

I must confess, the finished product were amazing! Despite not liking Oreos myself, the peanut buttery-ness of them made them totally Moorish. Plus they look pretty cute – wouldn’t they look amazing stacked on a dessert table?
