Peanut Butter Fudge Puddles are a chewy peanut butter cookie cup with a chocolatey fudge filling. These cookies never last long in our family, due to the fact that everyone keeps sneaking into the kitchen to steal just one more.
If you like peanut butter and chocolate – you have got to try these Peanut Butter Fudge Puddles. I am a big fan of peanut butter cookies but add some chocolate and I am in heaven. See for yourself! Try them once, and you’ll be hooked. They are the perfect blend of peanut butter and melt in your mouth fudge. They are so cute, too! They make great little treats for parties or baby/bridal showers. Your guests will go crazy over them! Add some pizzazz by adding sprinkles or cookie crumbles to the top. They are the perfect little bite-sized treat!
This recipe for a peanut butter cookie is amazing in itself, but add the chocolate fudge center and it is over the top good. If you want to try some variations you can try substituting the chocolate fudge center for some different fillings. You can do frosting in the center or a chewy caramel. We have also added chocolate candy in the center, like little peanut butter cups or Rolos.

Hey Rookie Cookie! I love your website!!!! Thanks for the comment!
These look amazing- my son wants them for his birthday party! How many does this recipe make?
This makes a pretty small batch. If you have more than 10 people coming I would double it.
Could you use Nutella to fill these instead of the choc. chip/condensed milk mixture?
That sounds like a great idea!
I have the same question as Hattie…………..the comment before mine. These look amazing!
You could definitely fill them with Nutella. The consistency and taste of the filling will be obviously different, but they will taste great. I love Nutella!
I would love to buy a mixer like what you have. Can you tell me what brand of your mixer?
It is a Bosch mixer. I love it! You can sometimes find them at Costco. Bosch has stores throughout the United States or you can go to there website, bosch.com.

Thank you very much. I am going to make fudge puddles .
You will love them!
Do you use plain or self rising flour?
We use white unbleached flour, not self-rising. Thanks for asking!
Do these have to be refrigerated because of condensed milk? I’ve alsways wondered about anything that has this ingredient and whether to leave in cookie jar or refrigerate.
I have not kept them in the fridge. I’ve always left them out, but covered in an airtight container.
Can you use store bought peanut butter cookie dough for this recipe?
Yes, using store bought cookie dough would be an easy shortcut on this recipe.
Do these have to be refrigerated?
No, they do not need to be refrigerated. I do keep them covered though so they don’t dry out. Thanks for asking!
Hello,
I really want to make this recipe.. But since i`m dutch, i have to recalculate the cups into grams. That is no problem.. but what is the amount of the condensed milk? It says 1 can, but how much is that ?
Hi Sandra, one can of condensed milk is 14 ounces or 396 grams. Thanks for asking!
What kind of mixer were you using. Mine broke and looking for a good one
It is a Bosch mixer and I LOVE it! I’ve had it for years and it has had A LOT of use. I’ve never had a problem with it. You can sometimes find them in Costco. Bosch also has kitchen stores across the U.S. and an online store.
