3-Ingredient Peppermint Hot Fudge Bites
Just in time for helping their “Mama” in the kitchen, my boys helped me whip up this tasty dessert today to take to a party. Anyone can make this recipe – it’s so easy! 3-Ingredient Peppermint Hot Fudge Bites made with Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Cups.
If motherhood has taught me anything, it’s that my sons are always willing to lend a hand in the kitchen and to even help with dishes. When I started blogging, my sons were 12 and 14, so for 7 years they’ve known that words and food and photos and a story are what consume their mother’s days. But then they get to reap the benefits, by tasting new recipes and helping in the the kitchen prepare for dinner guests. It’s a privilege to raise these 2 young men, and love on them when they come home for college breaks.
On a seasonably cool morning, I was so grateful that they were home, and that they can could step in and help make this simple 3-Ingredient dessert!
Little pastries, so small and perfect for appetizers and desserts.
Bake to perfection, following their easy directions, for 20 minutes.

I wanted to make these so badly, but 7 stores later no one carried the “cups”. I could only find the sheets or shells. :(
Oh and my idea… I wonder if you could use the little puff pastry cups as soup shots. Filling them with a creamy bisque or maybe gazpacho.
So cute and quick Sandy! What a great idea. :)
Those look so yummy! I haven’t been able to find a store that sells the Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry Cups. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks:-)
What a fun and beautiful appetizer for the holidays! I would fill them with whipped herbed goat cheese, lox, and dill for Christmas brunch!
These look great!
Using Pepperidge Farms Puff Pastry Cups, I’d make a duxelle of mushrooms place that in the bottom of the cups, then place some caramelized onions on that and top it off with Gruyere. A mouthful of goodness!
Love this idea! I always keep puff pastry in the freezer becuase it’s so diverse. I would bake small squares of puff pastry in mini muffin tins and fill them with golden grape tomatoes that have been stuffed with an herb and garlic cheese, then baked. These little golden gems are great as an appetizer!
Oh Sandy… These are gorgeous! I could eat that whole tray! I’d fill the little cups with goat cheese, top with a giant blackberry, and drizzle with honey for a cheese course or appetizer.
I’m a culinary school graduate and even I wouldn’t make my own puff pastry with the convenience AND quality Pepperidge Farms! I like stuffing the shells with a mixture of cooked chicken breast and barbecue sauce then topping it with some shredded cheese before baking. Fantastic and a nice appetizer to hold off even the kids until dinner!
These look amazing Sandy! — and so easy. Thanks for sharing, and Merry Christmas! ~Sally @ DrinkingFromMySaucer
