Yield: 9 dozen.
Ingredients: 1 cup shortening; 1/2 cup butter, softened; 2 cups packed brown sugar; 1 cup sugar; 3 eggs; 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract; 4-1/4 cups all-purpose flour; 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda; 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/8 teaspoon salt; 2 packages (13.3 ounces each) fun-size Milky Way candy bar

I created this recipe by trial and error using many different kinds of candy. Milky Ways were the secret "surprise" my family liked best.

Ingredients

1 cup shortening
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 packages (13.3 ounces each) fun-size Milky Way candy bar

Directions

In a large bowl, cream the shortening, butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well.
Roll into 1-1/2-in. balls. Cut each candy bar into fourths; push one portion into the center of each ball, completely covering candy with dough. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 350° for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown and surface cracks. Remove to wire racks to cool.
