No Bake Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Cups

This is a super easy treat that’s quick to make and requires only a few basic ingredients. It’s perfect for when you’re suddenly craving something sweet or want to bake something with the kids! You can easily adapt the ingredients to make it safe for anyone with peanut allergies by simply replacing the peanut butter with alternative likes tahini or almond butter.
