Ingredients
Scale
Fortune Cookies
- 12 store-bought fortune cookies
Chocolate Peanut Butter Coating
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or butter (optional, for smoother melting)
Garnish (Optional)
- 2 tablespoons crushed peanuts or sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- Melt Chocolate Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and optional coconut oil or butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Dip Fortune Cookies: Hold each fortune cookie by one end and dip it halfway into the melted chocolate peanut butter mixture. Allow any excess coating to drip off back into the bowl to avoid thick clumps.
- Place and Garnish: Lay the dipped cookies onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle crushed peanuts or decorative sprinkles onto the coated portion immediately if desired for added texture and visual appeal.
- Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet with the dipped cookies into the refrigerator and let them chill for 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate peanut butter coating is fully set and firm.
- Serve: Remove from the fridge and serve the coated fortune cookies at room temperature for the best texture and flavor experience.
Notes
- Try using white chocolate or dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet for a different flavor profile.
- For an extra special touch, drizzle melted peanut butter over the set chocolate coating once chilled.
- These treats make excellent party favors, holiday gifts, or a fun snack for any occasion.
