Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and grease a mini muffin tin.
  • In every other muffin space, press in a square of cookie dough until it comes up the sides of the hollow (so you’ll have 12 cookie cups)
  • Bake on the center rack of the oven for 12 minutes (or until golden brown).
  • Once you remove the tin from the oven, take the back of a round teaspoon-size measuring spoon and gently press down on the top of each cookie cup to hollow it slightly.
  • Allow them to fully cool.
  • Once completely cool, carefully remove them from the tin.
  • Melt your melting wafers for 30 second increments (until fully melted, stirring between each increment).
  • Break one pretzel twist in half. Dip the ends in the melted chocolate then attach to the side of a cookie cup.
  • Repeat with the remaining cookie cups.
  • Melt your hot fudge then fill each cookie cup with 1 to 1½ teaspoons of melted fudge.
  • Top each cookie cup of melted fudge with 3 mini marshmallow bits and serve.

Notes

Grease your muffin cups: Don't forget this step. If you do, the cookie cups might break when you try to remove them.
Don't overcook the cups: Depending on your oven, these can take anywhere from 10 to 14 minutes to bake. The best way to tell when they're done is to see when they turn golden brown.
Work quickly: The melted chocolate wafers won't stay liquid for too long, so work quickly to stick on the cup handles. If it sets before you're done, you can always remelt it.
