I have made these for Holiday Cookie Trays & to take to the Holiday Bake Sales, & they go soooo quickly!!..I have added Hershey Kisses, in the middle, if you don't want so much peanut butter..A Trick to Unwrapping the candies easier, is to place them in the Refrigerator, 1/2 hour before you will be needing them, to get them a little more solid & it makes it easier to place them in the cookies, when they come out of the oven!!...So Yummy!! :~)

I have made these several times over the years and we love them (except for having to unwrap the candy ) They are a nice addition to the Christmas cookie platter. And they really are easy (except again-for unwrapping the candy) :)

I found this recipe on another site actually and make them. These are the best cookies! Everyone loved them! I would recommend putting the candy in the freezer for a while before putting them into the hot cookie. Also I put the cookies in the fridge to cool still in the pan and took them out once the candy was no longer melted. ^__^

I made these yesterday with miniature peanut butter cups I had been hoarding and saving since my last trip to Canada. In fact I had bought them just so that I could make these cookies. They are delicious! Very easy to make as well. I highly recommend! Thanks!
