Snickers Cookies on Sticks or NOT

When I first spied this cookie recipe, the first impression was a fun recipe for baking with leftover Halloween candy. Instead, Snickers Cookies are dreamy good, the best cookies I’ve made all year. Think “peanut butter cookie with a Snickers bar inside” or a "mini Snickers candy bar wrapped inside a chewy peanut butter cookie" but then take a bite, oh so chewy and what’s that? Oh my, it’s chocolate and caramel and nougat right inside. The cookies-on-sticks are optional, the cookies themselves essential. Creative Idea to Use Leftover Halloween Candy. Homemade Peanut Butter Cookies, Made from Scratch. Extra-Fun for Kids and Resident Cookie Monsters of All Ages. Great for Food Gifts. Easy DIY. Rave Reviews.

Naked Peach Cobbler

Peach cobbler so good, the fruit can shine alone, no crust is needed! It's a complete peach cobbler makeover, I call it "Naked" Peach Cobbler – just leave off the buttery-sugary topping to save 200 calories (wow) a serving. It's completely healthy and remains 100% delicious. But for the people who insist peach cobbler isn't actually peach cobbler without something sweet and buttery on top? I've got you covered (pun intended) there too. Better still? It's easy to mix 'n' match, some "no topping" cobblers and some cobblers "with" topping, both at the same time. Everybody's happy! Real Food, Fresh & Seasonal. Just 100 Calories. Very Weight Watchers Friendly. Not just easy, Summer Easy . Budget Friendly. Weeknight Easy, Weekend Special. Not just vegan, Vegan Done Real . Naturally Gluten Free.
