These Chocolate Peanut Butter Marshmallow Pudding Cookies are some of the best pudding cookies yet! Chocolate and peanut butter make for a rich cookie, especially when filled with chocolate covered marshmallows and chocolate chips!
My cat loves my husband. And when I say love, I don’t mean “he feeds me and changes my litter box” love. I mean she luuuuuuuuuuuuvs him. With i’s dotted with pink puffy hearts and Mrs. Callie Kern doodles and all that.
Every night, we climb into bed and watch approximately 5 minutes of The Soup or No Reservations before we conk out. Callie lies on his side of the bed, waiting. As soon as my husband lays down, her drooling, eye watering, purr-fest begins. If he so much as touches my arm instead of petting her she shoots me a look that says, “I hope you die in the night so I can get an extra meal.” She then screams at him and urges his hand back onto her chin.
My husband is often traveling during the week, and Callie just isn’t the same without him. I try to stand in for him. I climb into bed and call for her. I pat the bed next to me and pet her a little. She gets all sandofish and goes to sit in the opposite corner, facing the wall. I’m just not her love interest, I guess.
Now, the dog…well. That’s another post.
Does anyone else have really strange animals? It can’t just be us, right? Because what does that say about me?
{Don’t answer that.}
You know what I luuuuuuuuuuv with heart dotted i’s?
Cookies. Pudding cookies. With peanut butter and chocolate and marshmallows.
I made these cookies awhile ago – after Christmas. And I never posted them! I realized I needed to ASAP – because they use Peepsters. Have you ever seen those candies? They come out at Christmas and Easter, and are made by the people who make Peeps. They’re chocolate covered marshmallows and are SO good.
You all know how much I love pudding cookies. I’m addicted to them! They come out perfect and soft every single time. For these cookies I used chocolate pudding mix, and I subbed peanut butter for some of the butter. Best. Decision. Ever! It’s like a rich chocolatey, peanut buttery cookie all rolled into one! Then, for good measure, I added chocolate chips and marshmallows. They’re like a chocolate fluffernutter cookie!
If you don’t, I’ll sic my cat on you. 😉

Thanks Jessica!
Our Vet told us somehow we always change our cats into dogs. I think cats just like to do mind games. You know how they stare at something until you turn your head, then walk away.
Yeah, my cat is beyond creepy. I swear, she WILL eat me if I die alone in the house…. 😉
With a fine wine and some fava beans. Silence of the Lambs nightmares.
That is too funny Dorothy! I’ll be honest, I am not a cat person. I blame my mother in law’s cat who absolutely hates me. She’s nice to everyone else, but bites me!! Love these cookies although I’ve never seen Peepsters!
I was a cat person, now I’m not so much. Probably because my cat is insane… 🙂
Hi Dorothy! I live in New Zealand and I love your blog! I can’t wait to try this recipe, although we don’t have peeps here so I’ll have to find a substitute.
You can use mini marshmallows! Freeze them first, before putting them in the cookies. 🙂 They may dissolve a little, but should stay semi-intact!
Peepsters are the best! I buy them in large quantities right after Easter when they are 30% off and try to make them last all year. Sometimes I just stick them in the middle of a wad of sugar cookie dough and bake. These look extra yummy!
That sounds good Molly! I need to stock up. 🙂
