Salted Dark Chocolate Cookie Butter Cups FAQ
Should these be stored at RT or in the fridge?
They are fine at room temp for a few days but store in the fridge if you are in warm climates or for longer-term storage.
How to avoid chocolate seizing:
Melt in a double broiler, melt in 30-second increments in the microwave, stiring between each time. Go slow. Trying to rush may give you troubles
I don't like dark chocolate, how can I make these sweeter?
Use semi-sweet or milk chocolate in place of dark chocolate

My OH my does this recipe sound GOOD! Dark chocolate (my FAV) and cookie butter (I have never actually tried this but my pregnancy cravings are coming out swinging here I am NEEDING to have some) ... HEAVEN!!
I would use a jar of Penotti Cookie Notti to make loads of this recipe to eat ASAP and to share on my Christmas platters (if there is any left!)
Gail Lawson Aurini says
I would like to try it in a bundt or tube pan. I would perhaps make a chocolate cake batter (or any other flavour) and put 1/2 down then put a layer of of the Cookie Notti on top then. The more the better for sure. I would then add another layer of the chocolate cake batter. While baking, make a ganache oops Spelling of it, or good icing of choice. When the cake is baked, set, and cooled and taken out of pan, I would then put the icing of choice on and sprinkle it lavishly with sea salt. At 77 yrs. still like to try something different. Here's hoping I find Cookie Notti. Warm regards to all.

Hi Gail! I don't know of a bundt cake recipe but I do know of a cookie butter cake recipe that looks delicious: https://livforcake.com/cookie-butter-cake/
Gail says
Hoping to find it here in Canada...We do have Sobey stores, Metro, and Walmart. I will check out Sobey's as you say it is in Canada's stores. Thanks so much for this recipes and so many others. Though 77, still like to try something new. Do hope I am successful in finding it though. Warm regards.
Denise says
I also have found the Cookie Notti at our Calgary Co-op stores, near the peanut butter. Hope you can find some, Gail!
Stephanie says
Hey there, Denise!
I actually just made these and have them in the fridge right now. So far, they look great!
But I do have a question for you: would you recommend keeping them out at room temperature once they are completely hardened? Maybe make some small foil wrapping to give it to someone? What do you think?
Thanks for the recipe and your help!
Denise says
Hi Stephanie! Yay, I hope you like them 🙂 I would keep them in the fridge until just before you serve them. They tend to get a bit soft at room temperature. I used some mini muffin liners from Ikea: http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/70208129/
