Snickers candy bars are truly fantastic all by themselves. All the same, I think the best way to enjoy a Snickers, other than actually eating a Snickers, is by infusing that delicious and oh so tempting candy bar straight into a glorious soft and chewy cookie.

That’s where these Snickers cookies come in!

With these fun cookies, you’ll get a taste of soft chocolate, gooey caramel and crunchy peanuts with every cookie.

That means every single cookie is literally jam-packed with Snickers fun!

All the fun starts with just 4 simple ingredients. Ingredients that include a totally divine chocolate cake mix and of course… some terrific Snickers candy bars!

Trust me, infusing your favorite candy into a soft, chocolate cookie recipe is always a good idea. This combination creates a wildly delicious treat every time.

How can I be so confident? Just try these fabulous Rolo Cookies, these scrumptious Twix Cookies, and these oh so marvelous Kit Kat Cookies. Then you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about!

Notes

  • Butter: When it comes to cake mix cookies, salted or unsalted butter can be used, as the cake mix will have a little salt in it.  However, I’ve found that salted butter will result in superior flavor.
  • Make Ahead Tips: These chocolate cookies made with cake mix are SO easy to prep ahead of time! The Snickers cookie dough can be made ahead of time, then stored covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days prior to baking your Snickers cookies. Want your chocolate cookie dough to last even longer?
