ULTIMATE CANDY BAR COOKIES



Ultimate Candy Bar Cookies image

I created these after Halloween, when I had way too much candy left over. You can make them with any mini chocolate candy, but if you use peanut butter cups, throw them in the freezer just before unwrapping so the chocolate won't stick to the paper. -Tara John, Plymouth, Minnesota

CANDY BAR COOKIES ON A STICK



Candy Bar Cookies on a Stick image

These peanut butter cookies are so yummy and even more fun when eaten from a stick with a snickers bar surprise in the middle. This is another recipe from my mom that I haven't made in years, but remember being very tasty! You could probably use just about any cookie recipe or miniature candy bar, but I haven't tried. It's fun to use colored candy or sugar to match the occasion (red/green for Christmas, pink for a girls birthday, etc.).

  • To make the cookies even more decadent, add a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream on top.
  • These cookies are best served fresh out of the oven, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
