Made these for a pumpkin carving party tonight – HUGE hit! Thank you!!
Aww ~ you’re very welcome… so glad everyone loved them! 😉
I had to cook them a little longer, but otherwise turned out great! My husband loved them!
I’m so glad he loved them!
Made these with Reese peanut butter chips and devils food cake mix, turned out great! Baked for 11-12 minutes. Made 3 dozen cookies
That sounds delicious, Sally… thanks for sharing!
I made these for my picky boyfriend using regular Reese Pieces as the store didn’t have the bits. He inhaled them, but did suggest Devil’s Food cake mix for next time (men…never happy!). Regardless, they turned out great for me and were crazy easy! Thanks for the recipe!
I’m so glad they got devoured so quickly! 🙂
