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

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!

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!

Is anyone else out there who is tired of following a recipe exactly and it doesn't turn out? I'm beginning to think I didn't get "the memo". Have to agree with majority of reviews...turned out flat and ugly! Sure wish websites could address the numbers of frustrated home cooks who have problems - or maybe it's just me whose a complete idiot...!

Tastes good, but went flat and the candy came out like other reviewers said. I only got 32 out of the full tube of dough. I have made this before with my own chocolate chip dough and they were fine. I think you just need to put more dough around them.

I don't know what happened but, the cookies spread out, and I only got 6 cookies out of half a roll of cookie dough???I will try once more. What's the secret?

Thanks for the tip! Will have to try that next time. Did you use the full 8 oz's?
The cookies are delicious! I froze the candy bars before baking these and I didn't have any issues with candy ooz out. Just make sure you keep a close eye on them. They didn't turn out like the round ones in the pic but they were still pretty. Will make again to try and perfect

The problem with the directions is that it doesn't indicate how much dough you should use except 1/2 of a tube. I used 8 oz and they kept their shape. Everyone loved them. I used the mint candy bar like was suggested the dip those in the green sugar for those with peanut allergies.
