(Sorry for the blurry picture... a photographer I am not...)Looking for a way to use up some of those oh-so-tempting mini candy bars in your kids Halloween buckets? If you are like me- I am doing a good job at hiding the candy on top of the fridge to where the kids don't really think of it that often. The problem is- I still know it's there! So, I came up with this for when I needed to make some cookies for a function.
First, I used this cookie recipe posted previously on this blog.
Then, I added 1/4 cup peanut butter along with the butter (though I thought it could use a little more, so go up to 1/2 cup if you like).
I reduced the amount of chocolate chips to 1/2 cup
Then, I chopped up random candy bars from the kids Halloween buckets until it equaled 2 cups. I stirred these in and baked as directed in the recipe. (I would stick with things that would go good in chocolate cookies- I used Kit Kats, Reeses cups, Snickers, Hershey bars and M& M's. There are certainly other possibilities!)
These were a HUGE hit and disappeared in no time! Moist and rich and a surprise (a pleasant one) in every bite!
Enjoy!
