Ingredients
Scale
For the Fortune Cookies:
- 12-15 plain fortune cookies (store-bought or homemade)
For the Peanut Butter Filling:
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (optional)
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (or vegetable oil, for smooth melting)
Instructions
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling:
- In a small bowl, mix together the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and salt (if using) until smooth and well combined.
- Transfer the peanut butter mixture to a piping bag or a plastic sandwich bag with the tip cut off for easy filling.
- Fill the Fortune Cookies:
- Carefully open the fortune cookies without breaking them.
- Pipe a small amount of the peanut butter mixture into the center of each cookie, then gently press the cookie back together, making sure the filling is contained inside.
- Place the filled fortune cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray.
- Melt the Chocolate Coating:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate and coconut oil together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler method.
- Coat the Fortune Cookies:
- Using a fork or tongs, dip each filled fortune cookie into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated. Gently tap the cookie against the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.
- Place the coated fortune cookie back onto the parchment paper-lined tray. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
- Chill and Set:
- Once all the cookies are coated in chocolate, refrigerate the cookies for 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set and firm.
- Serve:
- Once the chocolate is hardened, your Chocolate-Peanut Butter Covered Fortune Cookies are ready to enjoy!
- Optionally, you can drizzle extra melted chocolate over the top or sprinkle with crushed peanuts for extra flair.
Notes
- For an extra touch, you can use white chocolate or milk chocolate for the coating.
- If you’d like to personalize the fortune cookies, you can write your own fortunes or messages to place inside.
- These cookies are perfect for gifting or serving at a party—especially if you want to surprise your guests with a fun twist on the traditional fortune cookie!
