Snickers PB Cookies

snickers peanut butter cookiesDear Parents of Middle Schoolers and High Schoolers,

I’m not trying to rat your kids out or anything (since I am almost positive you probably did the same thing yourselves when you were that age), but you know when you give your kid lunch money every week and think he’s spending it on chicken nuggets or hamburgers in the cafeteria?

Well, you’re wrong.

If he’s like the 45979453745 billion other teenagers in the world, he’s proooobably spending it on Sour Skittles and Mountain Dew, AKA the Infamous Meal of Teenagers.

Meals may vary, as I was not one of the kids who enjoyed Sour Skittles.  So if your name was Hayley Parker, you probably fancied eating a package of frosted chocolate donuts and a vanilla Coke on the daily.  Or perhaps you were a root beer and Snickers kinda person.

Either way, I’m sorry to burst your little healthy, happy bubble of your child’s eating habits, but basically he’s just at school stuffing his face with heinous amounts of sugar.

And don’t get all mad at them for it, either.  If it gets them through their droll algebra 2 class or helps pep them up for a long night of studying chemistry, who cares what they eat?  Lemme tell you — you shouldn’t.  Because it’s pretty much a scientific fact that kids don’t come racing home to eat kale and sweet potatoes before a cram session.  So give them their Snickers and just realize that in a few years, this will all be a distant memory.  And also in a few years, your kid won’t have nearly the same metabolism, so eventually your kale and sweet potatoes thing will be their new fave meal.

…Or not, because kale and sweet potatoes could never be chocolate and caramel.  Everrrrrrr.

So pinch me if I’m crazy, but I have never been a huge Snickers fan.  I know everyone and their mother’s mother’s dog’s cousin loooooves Snickers, but I’ve just never jonesed for it like everyone else does which is strange since I love all the components of a Snickers bar.. just, separated.  But when Snickers released their Snickers PB candy bars, thaaaat was a different story.

I LOVE the addition of peanut butter — it truly amps up the saltiness of these traditionally sweet bars, and ups that gooey, sticky factor too (which shouldn’t all candy bars be the epitome of gooey, sticky and awesome?!).

And oh maaah goooooosh.  HEAVEN.

Snickers PB Cookies
Author: Hayley Parker, The Domestic Rebel
Recipe type: Cookies
Prep time:  30 mins
Cook time:  5 mins
Total time:  35 mins
Serves: 20
 
Nutter Butter cookies filled with gooey Rolo caramels, then coated in rich milk chocolate and sprinkled with peanuts. These cookies are a cinch to make and taste identical to the Snickers PB candy bars!
Ingredients
  • ½ pkg Nutter Butter cookies
  • 1 pkg Rolo candies, unwrapped
  • 1 pkg chocolate Candiquik or almond bark
  • 1 can chopped sundae peanuts
Instructions
  1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Gently twist the Nutter Butter cookies to separate the halves from one another. Place the half that is more bare (read: with less of the pb filling) onto the cookie sheet; leave the frosted halves to the side.
  2. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F. Place two Rolos evenly on top of the unfrosted cookie halves. Put the pan of cookies into the oven and cook for about 4 minutes, or until the Rolos are very shiny but are still maintaining their shape. Remove from the oven.
  3. Take the frosted half of the cookies and gently sandwich them back together with the Rolo half. Allow the cookies to cool and come to room temperature.
  4. Melt the chocolate bark according to package directions. Dunk each cookie evenly into the chocolate bark, removing excess chocolate with a fork. Return the foil-lined baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with the chopped sundae peanuts. Serve!

    In high school we didn’t have vending machines or much junk food for lunch but I was always able to sneak in some chocolate milk and a brownie. I would like 46 of these cookies! Yum!

    I love you for making this recipe. And I thank my email for recieving the amazing recipes you make all the time. I am really excited about the cookie.
    But also I love reading what you write. You are very relatable and funny. Reading your posts (no better way to say) I feel like we could be friends if we were to meet. (I’m not creepy I promise!!)
    I hope that you are doing well and that you’re able to keep your anxious thoughts shushed up. I felt for you when I read about that a while back.
    I hope I didn’t over step in anyway by mentioning it, but I want you to know I think you’re amazing!

    SO true. I remember spending lunch money on a bag of Chex mix and one of those huge, greasy chocolate chip cookies. Not the most healthy meal!

    These cookies sound freakin’ awesome!

    I’m with you 1000% on the Snickers! Never liked the original – then my co-worker cube-neighbor bought the PB Snickers – had never even heard of them but who can resist PB?! So glad I tried one! Or not. Loooooove them, will definitely be making these! Thank you for your recipes AND your stories!

      Hi Jessica! There shouldn’t be a lot of CandiQuik left over, but if there is, drizzle the remainder over some of the cookies for a pretty look!
