I opened my baking candy supply drawer and it was overflowing with M&Ms and Snickers. Big Daddy got 4 feet of Snickers candy bars for Christmas then went on a diet in January. What better way to use them than in these Peanut Butter M&M Snickers Cookies?

Peanut Butter M&M Snickers Cookies Tips
- I recommend using real butter. Salted or unsalted will work just fine. I don’t recommend making them with margarine of a butter substitute.
- I use a cookie scoop to form the balls of dough. This ensures they are all the same size and will cook in the same amount of time.
- I also bake cookies on a Silpat Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat. You can use this mat when a recipe calls for parchment paper. Cookies ‘grab’ to it and don’t spread as much which the main reason I like it. I also think cookies bake more evenly on a Silpat mat. Of course, if you don’t have one, don’t fret. They will turn out wonderfully without it.
- I used peanut butter candies, but you can use chocolate M&Ms or chocolate chips if you prefer.
- When using chocolate chips, I always use a good quality, name-brand variety. They contain cocoa butter, not fat substitutes.

Peanut Butter M&M Snickers Cookies
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup real butter no substitutions, melted
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 and ½ cups all-purpose flour sifted (plus flour listed below)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour sifted
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 5 Snickers bars chopped into chunks
- 1 cup M&Ms candies
Instructions
- Cream melted butter and both sugars together until well combined.
- Add eggs and vanilla and beat until blended.
- In another bowl, combine flour, soda, and salt.
- Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture. Beating well until combined.
- Fold in chopped Snickers candy bars and M&Ms by hand.
- Refrigerate dough for 1 hour or place in freezer for 25 to 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Scoop dough into balls with a spring release scoop. I used a 1.5-inch scoop.
- Place on a ungreased cookie sheet and bake 14 to 15 minutes or until desired degree of doneness is reached. I like soft centers and crisp edges and mine were perfect at 14 minutes.
- Remove cookies from the oven and allow cookies to rest undisturbed on cookie sheet for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes move to a wire rack to cool.
- Store in an airtight container up to 3 days.

Made these today – delish!! Thank you. By the way I didn’t have the regular size snickers so I eyeballed it according to my memory of what a BIG one looked like, and added 10 chopped fun size bars. Perfect!!
Paula says
Thank you! I had to make myself not eat all the dough it was so good to me. Glad you liked them.
Angie says
Five snickers?! What size snicker bars do you use?
Paula says
I use the regular size. I don’t have one to look at the ounce, but it’s 4 to 5 inches long. I tried the recipe with 3 and it wasn’t enough (for me).
Candice Morton says
Ugh, why is food so good… I have absolutely no choice, I gotta go make these as soon as I can!
Maureen says
I don’t see any peanut butter in the recipe for Peanut Butter M&M Snicker cookies.
Paula says
They’re peanut butter M&Ms instead of chocolate M&Ms
