These were sinfully delicious! The dough was easy to work with (better to use it cold, when it got warmer it got too gooey to work with); these were best when they were cool-the caramel from the candy bars melded with the cookie & made a chewy scrumptious awesome bottom to it. God, these were good!!! -
Made this for my Christmas tray while I was wanting something a little different from the regular PB blossom cookies and DH has declared this a winner, as a matter of fact I'd better get them hidden back before they are gone before the holidays. Great flavor of PB and Chocolate - what could be better. Used snicker mini candies and so gooey and chewy, just what a Christmas cookie should be. -
I have to make these cookies every year for my family. We just can't get enough of them. I've found that working with the dough can be sometimes gooey that's because of the warmth of your hands when making the cookies. -
Taste really good! -

I gave this 5 stars. Great recipe! It was like eating a peanut butter butter cookie with a surprise in the middle. I chilled my dough but found you must let it warm to work with. I microwaved it enough to make it workable. I used milky way candy bars for the surprise. The only things I didn't like was after cooling the caramel in the milky way rehardened. I also found it hard to fit only a Tbl. spoon of cookie dough around the candy bar so I had to use a bit more. I will make these again. I may drizzle with melted caramels in stead of chocolate or both. Next time I also plan to use peanut butter hershey kisses in place of the mini candy bars. Thanks for posting such a yummy recipe.
