No one will guess these sweet treats with the candy bar center start with store-bought dough. Roll them in colored sugar…or just dip the tops for even faster assembly. Instead of using miniature candy bars, slice regular size Snickers candy bars into 1-inch pieces for the centers. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Everyone loved these. The entire container was gone in one day. I used a tub of sugar cookie dough from the fundraiser 31 oz and added 1 1/4 cup of flour. They were great. The thinner the cookie dough the better (I think)

I made this one for my famliy Christmas party..Only I made my own dough instead of buying frozen stuff.. I just used the recipe for sugar cookies to do it...And I also used Snickers and 3 Musketeers inside them..Everyone loved them and they were the best when warm!

Cookies were very tasty and everyone loved them. Easy to make. I have only seen one size roll of dough, and wanted to make a lot so I used the entire roll, with 1/2 cup flour - and it made 22 cookies!! So, I had lots of extra unwrapped candy bars left over - but they didn't last long around my house either. Cookies did flatten some, but were rounded and pretty.

Nestle's Sugar Cookie dough is only in tubs not tubes in our area. I bought an 18 oz tub of dough and used one half with 1/4 cup flour. Covered the candy and then rolled it in my palm to make a ball. They did not flatten and do look like the picture. I do not think they tasted quite as good as they looked but were very good. Made some 3-Musketeers and some Snickers. I only got 16 cookies from the half tub of dough not 24 so maybe I need to make the covering a little thinner!

They looked nothing like the picture. I used Snickers bars and they all flattened out. I played with how much dough to put around them and that didn't make a difference at all. They tasted good, but looked like plain sugar cookies in the end, which was a disappointing cookie to take to a cookie exchange.

Made these for a cookie exchange last year...they were devoured. I didn't have any problems with them flattening out.

I finally tackled the recipe even though I wasn't sure of the exact size cookie dough tube to use. I ended up using a full one of the smaller size. Evidently this wasn't correct because the cookies spread out all over and just looked like a mess. The first batch I made were made with the Snicker Bars and they flattened out and the second batch I made, I used Pearson mint patties and froze them first. They were even worse when I took them out of the oven. I guess you are supposed to use half of a large tube but until I know for sure, I will not waste the time or money on ingredients.

These were good, but didn't stay round after baking, a little flatter, but still pretty.
