Milky Way & Snickers Cookies

Remember how I said we didn't get any trick-or-treaters this year?  Well, I am finally getting sick of eating bite size candy bars (well, kind-of).  If you are in the same boat, here's a great way to get rid of some of that candy.

I mean, really, what could go wrong with this recipe?  Putting a candy bar inside of a cookie?!  Seems like a no-brainer to me!

These cookies are unreal right out of the oven with the chocolately caramely center that oozes out when you bite into them.  But they are equally good the next day, dunking the crunchy cookie into a big glass of milk or a hot cup of coffee.  They're just good.  That's really all there is to it.
