Not only do they have pieces of peanut butter cups in them, but there’s also a swirl of creamy peanut butter, AND peanut butter cookies up in.  Have you ever had frozen cookies?

They’re the best. I always stash a few in our freezer for safe keeping. Here’s a little side note-  I saw a parent hack the other day where someone had put all of their candy stash in a frozen vegetable bag in the freezer because their kids would NEVER think to look in there. Genius, right?!  I am going to have to put a few of these in a bag of frozen corn we have. Actually…can someone just figure out how to hide them from me so I don’t eat them all? Please/thank you.

Let’s gather our ingredients:

Let’s make our chocolate base.

This recipe comes from my maj’s book- Homemade Decadence

I got a chance to look at her new book and it’s bonkers. You’re gonna love it.

Chocolate, cocoa, sugar, and milk. Oh and some salt too!

I put it in an ice bath because I don’t want the mixture to melt the chunks of goodness in the popsicles.

I zapped the peanut butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make it drizzle worthy.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Popsicles

makes 12
recipe adapted from Homemade Decadence

2 cups whole milk
6 oz. milk chocolate coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 large peanut butter cookies, broken into pieces
2 peanut butter cups roughly chopped
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, melted

In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the milk, chocolate, sugar, cocoa powder and salt. Cook, whisking until the chocolate is melted, about 6 minutes. Remove pan from the heat. Whisk in the vanilla extract. Transfer mixture to a pitcher/measure cup refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.

Meanwhile, prep your popsicle molds by evenly distributing the chunks of the cookies and peanut butter cups. With a small spoon, drizzle peanut butter into each mold. Fill each mold with milk chocolate mixture. Freeze popsicles for 40 minutes and top each popsicle with a sprinkle of additional cookie crumbs and insert the sticks. Freeze popsicles until frozen through, about 6 hours.

    These are wonderful. I think they are beautiful but even if they weren’t I would be all over them. Love chocolate and peanut butter!

    When I first saw the picture of the post, I saw what looks to be a pale pink plate with gold trim and my mind thought “jacuzzi” – I know, strange, but I haven’t even finished my cup of coffee. Then I registered the chocolate popsicle. While reading the delicious description and ahhhhhing the ingredients, I thought “Yes, a jacuzzi for my mouth”. May sound even weirder I know. But I too love chocolate and peanut butter, and this is homemade! Happy Saturday!! 😉

    Your mention of freezing candy just sent me down an internet loophole, wondering what frozen jelly candy (gummy bears etc) would be like. I found a frozen sour patch kids appreciation page, so maybe it’s a thing, even though it only had 3 “likes”. Haha. It’s nearly 9pm here but I really want to go to the store & buy some jelly candies to try it out & all of course all the ingredients to make these incredible-sounding popsicles!!

    This is a popsicle I’d have to hide from myself too. That vegetable idea is genius and those plates are just the best!

  • todd wagner

    Can I have these instead of my coffee this morning? I would go HAM on the whole tray..

  • Simone

    If you lived closer, I could send my cat Clydefrog over to swat the popsicle out of YOUR hand instead of mine (and then I’d help you eat the rest). Alas, i’ll have to make my own batch instead. Oh darn… btw, thank you for the well wishes the other day (think ‘holy sinuses, batman’ hehe). Enjoy the rest of your weekend! 🙂
