Mini Reese's Cookie Bites are a fun snack to have on hand for your next TV-watching binge.

I am a snacker. Growing up, I may not have eaten any vegetables outside of corn, carrots, and forced-down peas, but I had my snacking game down. After school, after dinner, and of course while watching TV, we always had something to munch on. These days it’s much the same, though I try to stick to things like BBQ roasted chickpeas or roasted veggie dip served with carrot sticks.

I said try. I mean, who can resist bite-size cookies, especially when something dramatic is about to happen on a favorite show? Like I can get through an emotional death scene without cookies.

When I was a kid we didn’t really have the opportunity to watch many shows in a row, unless you count the many hours spent absorbing MTV back when they only played videos. Granted, as I’ve gotten older, I don’t have much time to watch TV either. When I have down time I tend to spend it working on recipes (OK, I guess that’s not really down time…), grabbing a coffee with friends, or actually sitting down to read a book.

That’s probably why I have so many shows on my shelfie list. What’s a shelfie? According to Netflix, it’s one of those shows you have been wanting to catch up on forever, and just haven’t gotten around to. My current list includes Scandal, Daredevil, and the show that irritates me but I also kinda love, Once Upon a Time.

Mini Reese's Cookie Bites - Love mini cookies? These mini Reese's cookie bites are perfectly poppable for your next TV binge.

My son loves Once Upon a Time too, so I thought it would be fun to bake up some special cookies to snack on while we watch an episode or two. I recently was gifted some sweet treats from Sugarwish as part of the lead-up to an event I’m attending next month. I was going to save them for the flight but I couldn’t resist baking up these mini Reese’s cookie bites with the mini Reese’s Pieces.

These cookies remind me a lot of the cookies we would buy at the Minnesota State Fair, which come in an ice-cream tub. Yep, lots of warm, mini, chocolate chip cookies served up in bulk. It’s no coincidence that the milk booth is nearby.

I love how easily these come together, and that their small size makes it seem like you have tons of cookies on hand! Mini food is always amusing to me, and obviously, it means you can eat more of them. That’s how it works.

Mini Reese's Cookie Bites bake up in only a few minutes.

These mini Reese’s cookie bites bake up in only a few minutes. Resist the urge to bake them for longer — you want them to stay soft after baking, and remember that they’ll also settle and firm up slightly while resting on the pan.

Bake up a batch of these today for loading up lunch boxes or just knocking a few back while you cross another show off your shelfie list.

    Anything edible and mini is both adorable and dangerous to have around. I would eat an entire plate of these in the blink of an eye!
