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

Made this for Christmas and used Pilsbury's Peppermint Sugar Cookie refrigerated dough for the holidays. They were a big hit with my family. Used different types of candy bars and cut them in half. The cookies flattened out, yet no candy leaked out. Will definitely be making these again.

I used my sugar cookie recipe. Theres were a big hit!

I made the cookies again with almond joy and reese's cups. I used self rising flour again. I think that may help the candy from oozing because it didn't. I liked the reese's cup ones the best. I swirled hershey's chocolate syrup on them while they were still warm! They were pretty tasty!

I might try making these with malted balls (whoppers) and packaged sugar cookie dough. If they fall flat and the candy melts I'll let you know.

Basically these were blobs of dough with melted candy oozing out of them. They looked nothing like the picture. Tried using a different oven rack and added more cooking time. No luck. Tasted good, but I wouldn't serve them to anyone.

I used self rising flour because I didn't have the all purpose. They didn't fall flat, but they didn't look like the pretty little balls in the picture either. If you look closely @ the picture, they seem to be uncooked! I cut the candy bars in inch pieces, then quartered them because i had read the reviews already about the candy oozing. They did fine. I also used a utensil for cookie dough similare to a small ice cream scooper, so I only got 7 cookies, but they were delicious!

I thought these were good....use 1/2 candy bar to prevent oozing. they did flatten out, but got 2 thumbs up from my family!

or maybe it's just me whose a complete idiot..

I'm sure you're not an idiot.  These recipes are all tested here in Taste of Home's Test Kitchen before they're sent out into the world and sometimes they don't quite work the same way for some reason.  I read tons of these reviews everyday and when I see a recipe like this that folks are struggling with I flag it & send it back to the Test Kitchen so they can run through it again.  It doesn't always get retested right away but generally they'll play with it and come back with notes to help home cooks like you through the rough spots!

Keep Cooking!
