Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Cup Stuffed Oreos Recipe
Introduction
These Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Cup Stuffed Oreos are a decadent twist on a classic favorite. Combining creamy peanut butter cups sandwiched between Oreos and dipped in rich milk chocolate, they make an irresistible treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 16 Double Stuf Oreos
- 8 regular-sized Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, unwrapped
- 1½ cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon butter
Instructions
- Step 1: Carefully slice each Oreo in half, keeping the cream filling on one half. Set the cream-filled halves aside and place the other halves (the chocolate wafer sides) into a zip bag for future use. You will have 16 Oreo halves with cream filling.
- Step 2: Place an Oreo half cream side up on your work surface. Top it with a peanut butter cup, then cover with another Oreo half cream side down, gently pressing to create a sandwich. Repeat to make 8 cookie sandwiches.
- Step 3: Melt the milk chocolate chips with butter in the microwave or over low heat until smooth. Using a fork, dip each Oreo sandwich into the melted chocolate, fully coating it. Let the excess chocolate drip off, then place on waxed paper or a baking mat. Optionally, sprinkle with colorful sprinkles. Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm.
Tips & Variations
- For extra texture, sprinkle crushed peanuts or sea salt on top before the chocolate sets.
- Use dark or white chocolate instead of milk chocolate for a different flavor profile.
- Freeze leftover Oreo halves without cream to use later in homemade pie crusts or desserts.
Storage
Store the chocolate-dipped sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep fresh for up to one week. To serve, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes for easier biting and a softer texture.

FAQs
Can I use another peanut butter cup brand?
Yes, you can substitute with any brand or size of peanut butter cups that you prefer, adjusting the size of the Oreo halves if needed to fit.

Use a microwave in short 20- to 30-second intervals, stirring in between, or melt over a double boiler on low heat to prevent burning and ensure smooth chocolate.

- Yield: 8 stuffed Oreo sandwiches 1x
Description
Indulge in this delightful treat where classic Double Stuf Oreos are transformed into decadent chocolate dipped peanut butter cup stuffed cookies.

Ingredients
Cookies and Filling
- 16 Double Stuf Oreos
- 8 regular-sized Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, unwrapped
Chocolate Coating
- 1½ cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon butter
- Colorful sprinkles, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Oreos: Carefully slice each Oreo cookie in half, making sure to keep the cream filling on one half. Separate the cream-filled halves from the chocolate wafer halves. Save the wafer-only halves in a zip bag and store them in the freezer for potential use in other recipes like a chocolate cookie pie crust.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Place an Oreo half with cream filling cream side up on your work surface. Top it with an unwrapped peanut butter cup. Then cover with another Oreo half, cream side down, gently pressing to make a sandwich. Repeat this process until you have 8 completed Oreo-peanut butter cup sandwiches.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or a pan over low heat, melt the milk chocolate chips together with the butter until smooth and fully combined.
- Dip Sandwiches: Using a fork, dip each Oreo sandwich into the melted chocolate, covering it entirely. Gently shake off excess chocolate and place the coated treat onto waxed paper or a baking mat. Optionally, sprinkle colorful sprinkles over the chocolate coating before it sets.
- Set and Store: Refrigerate the chocolate-dipped sandwiches until the chocolate coating hardens completely. Store the treats in a covered container in the refrigerator for a cool, satisfying snack perfect for warm days.
Notes
- Keep the chocolate wafer halves separated to use later for other desserts or as cookie crumbs.
- Use room temperature peanut butter cups to avoid melting prematurely during assembly.
- Chocolate can be melted gently over low heat on the stovetop or briefly in the microwave at 20-30 second intervals to avoid burning.
- Store finished treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Feel free to experiment with different sprinkles or nut toppings to add texture and visual appeal.
