How to Make No-Bake Cookie Dough M&M’s Cups

Step 1: Heat-Treat the Flour

  • Microwave flour for about 1 minute (stir halfway) or bake at 180°C (350°F) for 5 minutes

Mix in heat-treated flour until combined.
Fold in chocolate chips.

Step 3: Melt the Chocolate

  • Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave in 30-second intervals
  • Stir until smooth

Step 4: Assemble the Cups

Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

  • Add a spoonful of melted chocolate to the bottom of each cup
  • Add a small scoop of cookie dough
  • Cover with more melted chocolate

Step 5: Add Toppings

  • Press M&M’s on top while chocolate is still soft

Step 6: Chill

Refrigerate for 30–45 minutes until set.

Step 7: Serve

Remove from liners and enjoy.
