This recipe looks promising but I have a question. How many Fun Size bars equal the 2 Baby Ruth candy bars called for in this recipe? Or would one 12.5 oz Fun Size bag equal the candy bars called for? How should I proceed? Thanks in advance for your advice.

I made these cookies for two of my friends for Christmas and they were great! My friends wanted the recipe so they could make them also

I made these cookies for the first and last time today. The caramel oozed out of the dough all over the cookie sheet. They were a pain in the butt to get off the pan. I will NOT make these again.

In the '40's and '50's Curtiss Company marketed cookies under the "Baby Ruth" and "Butterfinger" names. To my recollection, these did not include pieces of the candy bars in them. The recipes for these original cookies is that which I seek.
