Notes
Substitutions: Use peanut butter chips in place of the candy or crunchy peanut butter for extra texture.
Tips: Chill the chopped candy and pull the cookies while the centers still look soft. Skip the raw dough.
Storage: Keep at room temperature for 4 days or freeze baked cookies for up to 3 months.
