Begin by heat-treating flour to make it safe for consumption.

Cool heat-treated flour completely before using in cookie dough.

Prepare muffin tin by lining with 12 cupcake liners.

Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter for base layer.

Press 1 teaspoon of graham cracker mixture into bottom of each liner.

In large bowl, cream softened butter with brown and granulated sugars.

Add vanilla extract, salt, and beat until light and fluffy.

Gradually mix in heat-treated flour until well combined.

Add milk one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Fold in mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and toffee bits.

In microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with heavy cream in 30-second intervals.

Stir in coconut oil to chocolate mixture until smooth and glossy.

Spoon 1 tablespoon of chocolate ganache into each cupcake liner, coating sides.

Refrigerate for 10 minutes until chocolate shell begins to set.

Pipe cookie dough into each chocolate shell, filling about 3/4 full.
