Good Wednesday Morning Ya’ll. Hope everyone is enjoying their week! It’s actually my B-day today, whoo hoo for 32! It’s weird because I don’t feel much older than when I was in high school! It’s just a number right!!??
Yes, another Halloween has come and gone and sure enough I had a whole bowl full of mini Milky Ways and 3 Musketeers left that I wanted to get out of the house. Being the cookie lover that I am, I thought, why not just toss all the candy bars into some good dough. Let me tell you, I am not a huge fan of these candy bars by themselves, but Whoa are they good in cookies. The nougat and caramel makes the cookies chewy and ultra soft. I might even be tempted to make these babies all year round, that’s how much I liked them. So, give them a whirl, and if your family is anything like mine, those are the 2 candy bars that are left at the bottom of your Halloween bowls!
Take a peek and enjoy!!

This is so funny to me. I have been looking at the huge bowl of leftover Halloween candy for a week and wondering if I could put them in some sort of cookie.
Jenny I hope that you have a wonderful birthday!!!
I would just curl up with a plate of these cookies and a good book or a good movie . . . watch my house fall apart and just relax!!!
Your cookies look so good! I am debating making cookies today myself . . . we’ll see what happens! Have a wonderful day!!!
Happy Birthday!!!! Hope you do something fun today!
Those cookies look great… I’m going to have to give them a try (but, I have to sneak into the Halloween candy jar to get them w/o the kids noticing!).

Happy Birthday!
About the age thing – I once heard that the reason we don’t FEEL like we get older is because our spirit/soul is designed to live forever. I love that thought…:o)
Be blessed and have a great birthday!
My heart just skipped a little beat!
Yumm!
Happy Belated birthday!!
Happy Birthday! Milky Way is my favorite candy bar. I know I would love these cookies!
Happy Birthday! These cookies look great. I might try them out this Sunday to take to our college group at church. I love both of those candy bars… but then again, I’ve hardly met a candy bar I didn’t like.
Oh, fantastic! Those cookies are droolworthy!
Cheers,
Rosa
These look so gooey delicious. What a great way to use up the last of the treats.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, Jenny. Your years become you, you wear them well.
Milky ways are my fave candy bar. Can you believe my 7 year old only came home with one mini-sized milky way this year? I tried to send him back out to get some more but he was beat! No 3-Musketeers either. Weird.
I love candy bar dessert recipes of any kind- these look great!
Hope you have a great day!!!!
I love those candy bars but only as mini’s. What a great way to use up the candy you have left! I may have to try that with some of our leftover candy!!
