Ingredients you’ll need:

Vegetable oil
Peanuts- chopped

Snickers Cookies take your favorite candy bar to the next level! Snickers cookies made from Nutter Butter cookies are the ultimate easy to make treat for when you want cookies but just can’t be bothered to do it all from scratch!

Nutter Butters are great on their own, but they’re about 100 times better when stuffed with Rolos and dipped in chocolate! With only 5 ingredients and no baking required, this simple treat hits all the notes! Crunchy, salty, and sweet.

How to make the best Snickers Cookies:

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Gently twist the Nutter Butter cookies to separate the halves from one another. Place the half that has less of the peanut butter filling onto the prepared baking sheet, then set the frosted halves to the side.
Place two Rolos on top of the unfrosted cookie halves, then bake for 4 minutes, or until the Rolos are shiny but still maintain their shape.
Take the frosted half of the cookies and gently sandwich them back together with the Rolo halves. Transfer the cookies to the freezer for 15 minutes to allow the Rolos to set back up and hold their shape.
In a microwave safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips with vegetable oil. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in-between, until melted and smooth.
Cover each cookie completely in the melted chocolate, removing excess chocolate with a fork, then return to the prepared baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
Let the chocolate coating set completely before storing or enjoying!

Snickers were a favorite childhood candy bar, and I could wolf down a Snickers bar after school in just minutes. Like their old slogan goes, “Packed with peanuts, Snickers really satisfies”, and they do!

Snickers Cookies are a delicious and easy twist on the classic Snickers candy bar we all know and love! These still have the same crunchy, chewy textures as the candy bar just packed into cookie form.

The good news is that this improved crunchy, sweet treat comes together in minutes! Making it the perfect last-minute dessert to whip up for parties, celebrations, or potlucks. They’re also the perfect addition to a dessert board, cookie tray, or when you’re just craving some chocolate!

My top tips:

LINING YOUR PAN: Don’t skip the step of lining your pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat! This is super important especially when covering the cookie sandwiches in chocolate. Lining your pan prevents sticking and makes it easy to peel up the cookies once they’re chilled.
SEPERATING THE COOKIES: If you’re having a hard time separating the Nutter Butter cookie halves from each other, try running a butter knife along one side of each cookie. The cookies should naturally separate (without breaking) this way.
BAKING THE ROLOS: It’s important to only leave the Rolos in the oven for 4 minutes. No more and no less! You don’t want them to melt and be too soft to the point where they don’t hold their shape, but you do want them to be softened so that it’s easy to sandwich another cookie half on top.
SANDWICHING THE ROLOS: When sandwiching the Rolos with another cookie half, you just want to press down lightly so that the Rolos flatten out a little to fill both sides. Try to avoid pressing too hard because the Rolos will ooze out.
FREEZING: I recommend placing the tray of cookie “sandwiches” in the freezer while you melt the chocolate for dipping. This allows the Rolos to firm back up so that the cookies are not a slippery mess when you are covering them in the melted chocolate.
MELTING CHOCOLATE: It’s best to microwave the chocolate in 30 second intervals to prevent any burning. I also like adding vegetable oil to the chocolate to thin it out a little and make it a better consistency for coating. You could use coconut oil or another natural oil for a similar result.
COATING: After you coat the cookies in chocolate, tap against the bowl so the excess chocolate drips off. You’ll also want to scrape all the excess chocolate off the bottom of your cookies so that it won’t create a pool or “foot” of chocolate on the bottom.
TOPPING: I like using salted peanuts to offset the sweetness of these cookies, but you can use whatever kind of peanuts you like! It’s important to top these with chopped peanuts while the chocolate is still wet. The wet chocolate acts as a glue, then once the chocolate sets, the peanuts will stay in place.
STORING: Once the chocolate has completely set, I like storing any leftover snickers cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. You can also store in the refrigerator but will need to let come to room temperature to soften the caramels before enjoying.

I found that when you add chewy Rolo candies to store-bought Nutter Butters, you get something magical. You end up with an ooey-gooey chocolate caramel peanut cookie that has the perfect balance of sweet and salty!

Peanut butter Snickers Cookies are good. Not just good, they are phenomenal. I mean, what’s not to love? A crisp and crunchy peanut butter cookie. A slightly melted Rolo inside. Finished with a coating of melted chocolate and salty peanuts. Pretty much heaven in a cookie!
