By á-179370

Ingredients

• 1 caramel cake mix
• 8 Tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 egg
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 24 mini peanut butter Snickers bars
• For the Chocolate Glaze
• 2 Tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 Tablespoons dark cocoa powder
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 3 Tablespoons milk

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the cake mix, butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms. Add the cream cheese and beat again until mixed in. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour. Roll into 24 even dough balls. (Refrigerate longer if dough is still sticky.)

Flatten a dough ball and press an unwrapped peanut butter Snickers bite into the middle. Roll the dough around the candy bar.

Bake the cookies at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit on the hot cookie sheet for 3-4 minutes before moving to parchment paper on the counter. Tap the tops of the cookies gently with the flat side of a spatula to even them out. Let cool completely.

Whisk together the glaze ingredients. Spread on the tops of the cookies. Let set. Makes 24 cookies.
Notes

*If you bake these cookies for 10 minutes, they will be very soft inside. This is how I bake mine every time!

**Bake the cookies for another 1-2 minutes for cookies that are set up and firm inside.
