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. TIP: Instead of using miniature candy bars, slice regular size Snickers candy bars into 1-inch pieces for the centers.

I made these with many different candy bars, but the Milky Way ones got the best reviews. Very simple to make, but no one would know! :)

I made these as gifts for teachers at the end of the school year and they all raved about them. The only problem I had is that they didn't stay round. I will chill the completed balls before baking next time.

I made two batches. One with the Snickers and one with coarsely chopped Andies Chocolate Mint Bars instead of the Snickers. It was delicious!

The more dough you put around candy makes the cookie spread more.Does not come out like the photo.

If making these for parties at school, choose candies without nuts as many people are allergic to nuts. Nestle Crunch pieces are fun.
