I know we are a ways off from Halloween. But I am already in candy overload here. My kids don’t do the whole trick-or-treat thing anymore. They pass out the candy instead. So I think that could be why we usually have a whole bunch left over. I think they purposely pass out just a couple pieces so we have a whole bunch left for them when the night is over. Smart cookies – those kids. I would do the same thing. 🙂 So I have been trying to come up with recipes I can use all this candy in. I would hate to see it all go to waste. Someone has to eat it….I wonder who that someone should be??! I used some of the Snickers I had here & created these Snickers Cookies that are SOOOOOO YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!! They are soft & chewy – even the hubs was like “hey – now THAT is a good cookie!”. They didn’t last long.
I think I’ll be making these again & again. They meet all my criteria for a perfect cookie. Soft, chewy, a little something extra in there for texture & then the Snickers. Oh how I love Snickers. So really – adding some to a chocolate cookie just made my day.
