These are new at Trader Joe’s, a specialty food store in the US. When I spied these on a shelf  I had to do a double take. I’d never seen peanut butter cups in this mini size before, and thought they would be interesting in place of chocolate chips in my standard chocolate chip cookies.

They are “ka-ulomol!” That’s a word in my dialect that I don’t even have a direct English translation for. In Tagalog, it would be “nakakagigil,” I guess. Otherwise, it means something along the lines of, “They’re so cute and tiny and I just want to them to get in my belly!”

I had to stop myself from snacking on them while making the cookies. They’re just like little itty bitty Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, but since they’re teensy, you tend to pop them in your mouth more readily and easily like you would the regular-sized ones.

And they were absolutely yummy in the cookie dough! Had to stop myself from eating THAT too!

I hope Trader Joe’s keeps this product in stock. Some of their goods are seasonal, like that one time they weren’t selling my favorite lady fingers for some reason. I’d buy these again in a heartbeat, because these cookies were just ooey gooey good!

Now I want to try these next. They’ve been around for a while, but this mini-peanut-butter-cup experiment turned out so well that I’m thinking these would be great too!

Hope you’re having a sweet week, all! (Yum!)
