Candy Bar Cookies? Have I gone mad? Well, no but was craving some chocolate….sorry for those of you who are so good and still dieting 🙂
I used the same technique I’ve been using with those giant Oreo Stuffed Cookies and am just loving it. Ooey Gooey on the inside and perfectly buttery crisp on the outside, just how I like it!I would highly recommend that you use the exact cookie dough recipe I have written below. It holds it’s shape perfectly for these giant cookies. Grab some milk, endulge…..then go workout tomorrow. Enjoy!!
I used 3 of my favorite snack size candy bars as pictured above. Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, Snickers and Kit Kat. I believe you could use any of your favorites here 🙂
First up, Reeses Peanut Butter Cup….my absolute favorite 🙂 Place a nice big scoop on top and…
…..a nice big scoop on the bottom 🙂
Use both hands to press and seal edges. You’ll get this giant head sized cookie.
Do the same with your Snickers, one giant scoop on top, one on bottom…press and seal edges!
Same story for your Kit Kat Bar. I shaped it a bit oval which worked great.
Ready for the oven.
Bake at 350 degrees F, 14-16 minutes!
Can you just die?! Here’s the inside of the Snickers Cookie.
The inside of the Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Cookie, mmm!
…and the fabulous Kit Kat Bar Cookie. Love every single one of these bad boys!

Okay YUMM!! You are NOT helping my plan to try to eat better because that Reese’s one looks divine!
You are KILLING me!!! I’m trying so hard to stick to my diet, but you keep posting such yummy looking recipes. Can you try to give us some low cal/fat ideas?
This is SO clever. The kids will go WILD over this, and I suspect the adults will too. Can’t wait to try this.
Genius! What a great way to use up leftover Halloween candy!
These look absolutely amazing! I am making them tomorrow along with the oreo stuffed cookies! Can’t wait to try them. I love all of your creative ideas, thanks so much 🙂
Oh.My.Stars. I cannot believe how GREAT those look! We’re about to have sweet and sour chicken for supper in, like, five minutes – and I’m totally excited about it – but I would totally eat these instead…if they were only here, right in front of me. Sigh! Gotta try ’em.

These are a great way to use up Halloween candy. You can also freeze the formed dough balls and cook them as needed. YUM!
