Santa's Snickers Surprises

Anna J.

Ingredients:
2 sticks butter
1 c. creamy peanut butter
1 c. light brown sugar
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
3 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
13 oz. package Snickers miniatures
Dove milk chocolate
powdered sugar

Directions:
Combine butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt to form dough. Cover and chill for 2-3 hours.

Unwrap Snickers. Divide chilled dough into 48 equal pieces. Take one piece, flatten it in the hand, and place a Snickers in the middle of it. Roll the dough into a ball around the Snickers and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. (Do not cool on paper towels.)

Melt the Dove milk chocolate. Microwave about 90 seconds and stir until smooth.

Use a spoon to drizzle melted milk chocolate in decorative stripes across tops of cooled cookies. (Dip spoon in chocolate and wiggle hand back and forth over cookies - looks pretty.) Finish with a fine dusting of powdered sugar over the cookies. Festive-looking and scrumptious! Makes 4 dozen.
