Snickers Chocolate Chip Cookies

Is there a holiday to celebrate Snickers yet or what? Confession, I’m a Snickers hoarder. I had two boxes in my freezer and they slowly dwindled away to nothing – especially once my husband and kids found out they were in there. I’m going to need to replenish that.
I go through different phases of favorite latest candy bar cravings but Snickers is most frequently in the lead which is why it was an absolute must that I added some to the best cookies ever – the classic chocolate chip cookie.
Who knows why I haven’t made these before, but it’s probably a dangerous thing now that I have. Sometimes things this good might be better off unknown :). A chewy, caramely, nougat and peanut studded cookie that is loaded with chocolate is has got to be good right? Indeed it does. These are amazing – so get going and make a batch asap. Enjoy!
So I normally don’t like wrappers in photos, it seems slightly tacky or something – but these are golden people! Just like what’s inside. MMMMM.

Notes
- *Look for a salted butter containing 100 mg or less of sodium per serving (listed on nutrition facts). If you have a butter that has more than 100 mg just reduce the amount of salt slightly.
- ** I diced each of the Snickers bites into quarters. I love that I didn't have to unwrap lots of minis but if you cant find the bites the minis would work fine.
