What are Snicker Stuffed Cookies?

You wrap cookie dough around a bite-sized Snicker, bake them in the oven, and let the caramel and chocolate melt into a gooey center. It’s the kind of cookie that makes everyone go “WOW!”
This recipe has grown in popularity thanks to its surprise middle and chewy texture, especially during the holidays or special events. They also use simple ingredients that you probably already have at room temperature—bonus!

- Serve these with vanilla ice cream! It takes your Snickers cookies experience to a higher level.

Who would have thought to add Snickers in the center of a cookie would be a huge hit among adults!? Well, they sure loved it and requested to have KitKat filled cookies, Twix filled cookies, and the list goes on. I'm actually thinking of trying Jolly Ranchers in the cookies? Do you think that would be a hit? Let me know in the comments! Happy Baking!
