A fun little easy to make treat that looks like gold at the end of the rainbow in the clouds!

Pot of Gold Cookie Cups

I impulse buy the most random food things with no plan for them at all. For example, I love going to the Amish dent and bent store where they sell stuff super cheap. They had a huge bag of dehydrated mini-marshmallows. Bought them with absolutely no idea what I was going to do with them.

Fast forward to being in the checkout line at the Dollar Store and I saw fruit strips that looked like rainbows. I knew I had to have them, but again, no idea what I was going to do with them!

My husband thinks he is going to die under an avalanche of stuff every time he comes into my office, so I figured I should put a dent in it! Only to make room for more impulse buys, though! HA!

So I created these St. Patrick’s Day Cookie Cups out of my 2-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cup Cookies! It’s been a project of mine to create as many possibilities as I can out of that recipe, like 2-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cup Cookies, Gnome Cookie Cups, and Peanut Butter S’mores Cookie Cups!
