Heather sent in an AWESOME sounding recipe, perfect for using leftover Halloween candy. (If you have leftover Halloween candy. If you do, I applaud your self control. Or think you're CRAZY.) She says:
"Snickers Surprises
2 sticks softened butter
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 package Snickers brand Miniatures (the bite sized ones!)
1.Combine the butter, peanut butter and sugars using a mixer on a medium to low speed until light and fluffy.
2. Slowly add eggs and vanilla until thoroughly combined. Then mix in flour, salt and baking soda.
3. Cover and chill dough for 2-3 hours.
4. Unwrap all the Snickers.
5. Remove dough from refrigerator. Divide into 1 tablespoon pieces and flatten.
6. Place a Snickers in the center of each piece of dough.
7. Form the dough into a ball around each Snicker.
8. Place on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 300* for 10-12 minutes.
9. Let cookies cool on baking rack or wax paper.
*10.( I like to drizzle a bit of melted chocolate over the tops of the cookies as well. Makes for a sweeter presentation!)"
Let's all tell Heather she is pretty and we love her.

Those sounds lovely...
*Ahem*
But I will have to go buy bite sized Snickers.
Ah, it's this time of year that I get super nostalgic for peanutty goodness. Sadly, our daughter's peanut allergy will ban this recipe from my household. Maybe some of you can eat these and tell me how good they are, and I will enjoy them vicariously.
1) "Unwrap the Snickers." HA HA! That would REALLY be a surprise otherwise!
2) I'll bet this would work with mini Milky Ways, too.
