After every holiday, there's a delightful challenge of having more candy than we can eat.
But fear not, for candy is a treasure that can never go to waste, and we have the perfect solution for all your extra candy.
Easter candies, rich chocolate, and fluffy marshmallows are perfect for adding a twist to other sweets. Putting them in cookies is the perfect solution to reinvent your sweets, make them even more delicious, and ensure they do not go to waste.
I started with two bags of sugar cookie mix to create the perfect cookies. I made the dough, chopped up the candies, and mixed them in.
The beauty of this recipe is its flexibility.
You can make the dough from scratch or opt for a premade mix or dough.
There's no wrong choice; choose what suits your baking style and complements the candy you're using. I'd suggest a sugar cookie or classic cookie dough base, but feel free to get creative and make it your own.
After making the dough, I chopped my Easter candy to ensure it would mix well into the dough. I mixed two candies because I had them on hand, and I knew they would go well together. I had Cadbury Mini Eggs and our S'mores chocolate bunny, which were a fantastic combination.
The two different types of chocolate balanced each other well. Once those were chopped up, I mixed them with the dough and popped them in the oven.
Who would have thought that making the "Perfect Cookie" was this easy?
Beyond mixing your favorite Easter candies into your favorite cookie dough, they can also be used as cupcake decorations, mix-ins within your brownie recipes, and even candy salad or as a perfect addiiton to your office snack selection.
