What are you going to do with all that leftover Halloween candy? Make cookies of course! This recipe calls for mini Snickers bars but I'm sure the snack size cut into 3 pieces would work. You can also use Milky Way, Reeses, Baby Ruth, Twix....whatever you like. I don't make these very often because they're not very healthy, but once in a while won't hurt. Enjoy!

1 cup softened butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter

Combine flour, baking powder and baking soda then add to peanut butter mixture, beat until combined. For each cookie shape a rounded Tbsp of dough around a candy piece, forming a ball. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake @ 350 for 15 mins, cool on rack. After they're cool drizzle with glaze.
