You want twix cookies? Perhaps a snickers cookie? Oh, a reese’s cookie? I got you fam! All of them are in these yummy candy bar stuffed peanut butter chocolate chip cookies!
Someone stop me.
I’m addicted.
It’s ridiculous.
People are starting to talk. My kids are judging me. My husband has started calling psychiatrists. My parents have disowned me. My in-laws said that I’m not the favorite daughter-in-law anymore.
Why, you ask?
I can’t stop stuffing cookies with other foods.
What’s wrong with that, you ask?
I’m making people fat. Super duper fat.
This amazing peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are big!
My first stuffed cookie experience was documented here and involved Double Stuft Oreos and they were amazing. I’ve since moved on to candy bars.
These cookies would be amazing on their own with the peanut butter and chocolate chips, but stuff a candy bar in there and, uh, wow. I used a mixture of fun size Snickers, Milky Ways, Twix bars, and Reese’s cups. I made the mistake of using the little mini Reese’s cup instead of the full size ones. Definitely not enough candy in those cookies. I’ll use the full size Reese’s cups next time. All the better to fatten up my relatives.
Oh, and be warned. These cookies turn out to be around 4 to 5 inches big. Bigger is better when it comes to cookies. Giant cookies equals giant smiles. True story.
Candy Bar Stuffed Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter room temperature
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 12 fun size candy bars or full size Reese's cups
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream together the butter, peanut butter, and sugars. Beat in the egg until light and fluffy.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Place two tablespoons of cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet and smash down a bit. Place a candy bar in the center. Drop another tablespoon of dough on top of the candy bar and cover the candy bar with the dough. The cookies will spread quite a bit to be around 4 to 5 inches in diameter, so place them far apart on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes.

ok, I seriously need to know if anyone out there has a food blog and hasn’t gained weight. Because I seriously don’t think it’s possible! These look insanely delicious and I already ate way too much sugar tonight.

Um, if you want to try a recipe that I’m afraid of, I have a recipe in a book for Ground Beef Cookies. I’ll send it to you…
I’ll try yours, though. They look just fine to me. 😉
Barbara says
Lori’s recipes are downright dangerous, aren’t they? I am NOT a Reese’s fan, so I know you won’t mind if I stick a Heath bar in there, right? Bad me.

It’s true, you might be a bit insane. but aren’t all food bloggers? Just a little?
That’s why we all look at these and think OMG I NEED THEM NOW. Whereas normal people would probably run for the hills.
Lori @ RecipeGirl says
I know… I’m a little crazy w/ the stuffing too. You won’t believe what I’m dreaming up next!
Miss says

Michelle says
A full-size peanut butter cup inside a chocolate chip cookie? SOLD!
The Blue-Eyed Bakers says
No no, you cannot even try to apologize for making something so completely fabulous and delicious looking. We’re all for candy in cookies!!
BrandyK says
Now really, they should be thanking you for all the yummy cookies. How ungrateful! You just keep stuffing cookies and posting these recipes! I appreciate you and understand your addiction. 🙂
