To celebrate Chocolate Peanut Butter Day, I chose to make candy and cookies rolled into one. Literally!


These candies have bits of cookies rolled right inside. I used my own chocolate cookies to crumble but store bought work fine. If you want my cookie recipe you can find it here but leave out the chocolate chips.
Best thing its only a few ingredients!
These little candies are as much fun to make as they are to eat!
