Hidden Treasure Cookies

"Only 2 ingredients and a candy bar in every bite! These cookies taste delicious, couldn't be easier and are a great way to use up leftover mini candy bars from your last holiday! The kids will love making these with you - you just wrap candy bars in cookie dough and bake. I love using Snickers with the peanut butter dough. Solid chocolate bars are the only candy that doesn't work well - just too much chocolate! You can substitute sugar cookie dough if someone's allergic to peanut butter."
