These Peanut Butter Snickers Cookies are a yummy update on an old classic. Who wouldn’t love a peanut butter cookie stuffed with a candy bar!

If you love peanut butter treats, these candy bar cookies are a must try recipe. Serve them warm for an extra gooey chocolate treat!
HOW TO MAKE STUFFED SNICKERS COOKIES
- PREP: Unwrap the mini Snickers. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with silicone liners or spray with non stick cooking spray.
- WET INGREDIENTS: In a large bowl, cream butter, sugars, and peanut butter. Beat in vanilla and egg.
- DRY INGREDIENTS: Combine dry ingredients and add to peanut butter mixture.
- SHAPE: Roll dough into a ball, then flatten into a disk in your palm. Place a Snicker in the middle and wrap the dough around it. Pinch the dough together, then roll the ball still smooth, making sure it is completely sealed.
- BAKE: Place on silpat lined or well greased cookie sheets.
Bake at 350° for about 12 minutes, or till slightly golden. Cool for 2-3 minutes and remove from to cooling racks. Cool completely.
- DECORATE: After the cookies are cooled, melt the chocolate chips at half power in a glass bowl in the microwave. Place in a ziplock bag and snip a tiny hole in the corner. Drizzle melted chocolate over the top of each cookie.
PEANUT BUTTER SNICKERS COOKIES VARIATIONS:
- Instead of using Snickers inside, you can also stuff them with Reese’s peanut butter cups. So tasty!
- For extra crunch, stir in a half a cup of chopped peanuts to the dough.
- Love chocolate? Instead of drizzling the tops of the cookies with melted chocolate, you can dip the cookies halfway in melted chocolate.

Question, not a comment. How much dough per snicker bar – 1 or 2 tablespoons? How many does it make.
It makes 2 1/2 dozen, or 30 cookies. That’s usually about a tablespoon and a half of dough, but it doesn’t need to be exact. If you have extra Snickers, you can use less dough and make the cookies on the smaller size.
So simple & so delicious! I am obsessed with these cookies!
Same here Jennifer. They are dangerous!
Made these and they were awesome! The flavor is so good, can’t wait to make them again!
