Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 36 bite-size chocolate-covered caramel candy bars (I prefer mini Milky Ways)
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Beat the butter, sugars, and peanut butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat until just blended.
- Stir together flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Add to butter mixture, beating until blended. Cover and chill in the refrigerator 30 minutes.
- Shape two tablespoons of dough around each mini candy bar and roll into balls. Place three inches apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
- Bake for 13 to 14 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer to wire racks.
