40 Reviews of Snicker Surprise Peanut Butter Cookies

Elmolvsu, I hope you try this recipe again. They went off the plate again. I drizzle chocolate on top then sprinkle powdered sugar. USE 1 CUP OF BUTTER instead of 1/2 cup. That will probably make the difference for your flour. I yield 41 cookies. I don't use a lot of dough around the snickers. I make a ball, flatten it on wax paper, then place the snickers on top and pull the dough up around it and pinch the top together. If you like a soft cookie, 12 minutes baking time would probably be sufficient. Let us know if you have a problem, because these are fabulous and we don't want you to miss out.

    These are the most melt in your mouth cookies I have ever tasted. Boy, was my family impressed! Even without the candy it would make an awesome peunut butter cookie!

    After all the stunning reviews for this recipe, I was a little disappointed with the results. I had the same problems as another reviewer, dry dough that did not bake well and ended up as hard round cookies. Everyone thought that they tasted great, but needed improvement in the texture. I am going to make these again, though, and this time use a cup of butter to see if that helps, which I hope that it does.

    I started making these cookies when the recipe first came out. They are wonderful. There is a lady I work with that practically begs me to make them every year. I like to also use Rolo's and Reese's in them, and mix them up so you don't know what you're gonna get. Last year, another lady I work with at about 10 of them just searching for one with a Rolo in. She finally figured out that those were flatter looking. Or so she says. LOL

    Wonderful !!!! I made these cookies and to add an extra flair I topped them with melted chocolate chips spooned over the top. They freeze great, the only problem was they don't stay in the freezer long. Thank you for adding such a delightful recipe to my Christmas goodies.

    these cookies were very good. i did use i cup of butter and the dough was fine. i also put the snickers in the freezer for about 1 hour so melting was not a problem. i baked these on a silpat and found they needed to stay cooling on the baking sheet for a few minutes, mine were to soft to move. everyone loved these cookies, i also used the leftover dough to make peanut butter cookies with a kiss in the middle i just rolled the dough in sugar. very good pb cookie, thank you angelcakes =)

    My mom was over one day making relish and while we were waiting for the relish to do it's thing, we decided to make some cookies. I had printed off this recipe so we decided to make them. Oh my gosh were they good! Since peanut butter anything is a favorite of mine I couldn't leave them alone and my mom couldn't keep her fingers out of the plate either. We both loved them! She took some home for my dad and sister and they called me up to thank me for sending them home. They loved them too, so I guess you could say they went over extremely well! These are a new favorite for me, and one recipe I will keep a close watch of, because I plan to make them again very soon! Thanks! Kimberely

    I made these this weekend as part of my annual Christmas cookie frenxy. I was so happy to find this recipe as I have many snickers fans in my family. These cookies are a snap to make and are oh so yummy. This will be in my Christmas cookie file for a long time to come.

    These cookies came out really good. I got more than 24 cookies and used at least 2 T. of cookie dough for each cookie. I think 1 T. would be tough to cover the Snicker miniature. I noticed one reviewer said 3 1/2 c. of flour was too much — just to let people know, I used the full 3 1/2 c. and had no problem at all. Most all the cookies were nice and smooth. A couple I must not have secured the candy bar good enough because some of carmel leaked out a little — but not so much as to ruin the cookie. I saw were someone used other candy bars — a thought I had as well. She said it changed the cookie a little. I was wondering about using the little Reese's peanut butter cups in them. I made these cookies as part of my Christmas cookie assortment and am glad I included them.

    I made these for the cookie-thon. I have a little tip--don't buy your snickers bars too early, they seem to escape from the bag, and end up in children's mouths. No problem though, we had some dough left snickerless, and it still made a good soft chewy cookie. Easy and delicious!!
