Best Mini Candy Bar Cookies Recipes
ULTIMATE CANDY BAR COOKIES
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

COLORFUL CANDY BAR COOKIES
No one will guess these sweet treats with the candy bar center start with store-bought dough. Roll them in colored sugar or just dip the tops for even faster assembly. Instead of using miniature candy bars for the centers, you can also slice regular-size Snickers candy bars into 1-inch pieces. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen
