Peanut Butter Snickers Cookies

This year I was super excited to finally have trick-or-treaters come to our house for Halloween. For the past six years Andrew and I have lived in an apartment and never had trick-or-treaters stop by. But not this year! We are finally in a house on a street with lots of young children. So I stocked up on bags of candy anticipating a large crowd. Well, that large crowd never came!

We did have trick-or-treaters, just not as many as I thought we would have. We when lived in Columbus, Ohio we would easily go through at least 10 bags of candy in one night. This year I could have bought two bags and been safe. So needless to say, I have a mountain of candy left! So instead of letting it tempt me by lying around our house, I decided to make some yummy cookies and give them away to my husbands co-workers.

But that didn’t mean I didn’t sneak at least one cookie before I gave them away. 😉 Soft and chewy peanut butter cookies exploding with chunks of Snickers and milk chocolate chips…seriously, does it get much better than that? So whether you bought too much like I did or your kids brought home a carload of sugary sweets, whip up a batch of these addicting cookies. You can thank me later! 😉
