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

Says Barb Wyman from her kitchen in Hankinson, North Dakota: "Because I love candy bars and marshmallows, this recipe was a cinch to invent-and I've yet to find anyone who doesn't enjoy it! The quick bars make great individually wrapped treats for picnics, lunch boxes or out-the-door snacking. And with all the different layers and flavors, they're sure to please just about everyone."
