It’s no surprise I love Trader Joe’s Cookie Butter. {proof}
It’s amazing.
It’s magical.
It’s cookies…in spreadable I-can-eat-this-for-breakfast-because-it’s-like-peanut-butter form.
So I do that. I spread it on english muffins, then top it with sliced bananas, and a drizzle of honey.
I basically substitute any sort of peanut butter with cookie butter. My kids ask for it, and I say no.
“It’s for grown-ups.” I tell them.
It’s not. It’s for everyone.
But I need to conserve.
It’s human nature.
But I do share every once in awhile.
Like when I made these Chocolate Cookie Butter Cups. I couldn’t possibly eat all 30 of them by myself.
Maybe only 25.
A girl has to watch her figure ya know.
These are exactly like a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, only instead of that out-dated peanut butter filling, it’s packed with a creamy and luscious cookie butter center.
Simply put- these are phenomenal!
