Chocolate Chunk Peanut Butter Swirl Fudge Cookies

When I split this warm chocolate cookie open and saw the chocolate oozing out, I about fainted with excitement, lol! Swirls of peanut butter accompany giant chocolate chunks. This cookie will go down as one of my favorite recipes by a mile 🙂

Kind of reminds me of one of my favorite ice cream flavors I used to get when I was a little girl. Chocolate with peanut butter swirls at Thrifty. I actually still love it and I REALLY love it in this cookie 🙂

Take a peek and enjoy!

How to Make These Fudgy Cookies

First, place 1 Cup of creamy peanut butter into the freezer for a good 1/2 hour. Next use a good quality bloc of chocolate and chop it up into large pieces like this. This particular chocolate is Sarris….which is incredible 🙂

    Well there’s nothing really to say…we mean, chocolate and peanut butter fudge-y deliciousness!?? HEAVEN.

  14. Allison

    These look yummy! Where do you buy your chocolate? I haven’t found that soft tortilla bread yet either. I think I need to move a little further down the 5 😉 These look so good and if they are anything like Thrifty’s chocolate with PB swirls I have to make them! Thanks for another fun recipe to try with my boys! 🙂

    I think if I had to choose one desert to eat for the rest of my life, it would be these. They look like the prefect combo of chocolate & peanut butter/cookie & brownie. Props!

    Oh my these look amazing! Not a huge fan of peanut butter but I also love chocolate ice cream with peanut butter swirls. I WANT THESE COOKIES NOW! Fudgy! Chocolaty! Peanut Butter! I give these cookies 5 stars even though I haven’t tried them. Let me tell u about something yummy. Next time you have plain chocolate chip cookies or chocolate chocolate cookies with chocolate chips, smother the cookies with Nutella, pour milk on the cookies,and put ice cream on top. Soooooooooo delicious! Please tell if u try it and it turns out nice!
