Oatmeal Candy Bar Cookies


If you have leftover Halloween Candy, that you don't want your kids or your bigger kid to inhale, you can add it to cookie dough. We had zero trick or treaters, because it was a rainy, nasty night, so we had two bags of candy left. There was a bag of  "Fun Size" Snickers and bag of Mini Twix Bars. Don't blink or you might miss the Snickers. They are so tiny now, that you could hardly get two bites. Pretty soon, they will be the size of MM's.


I made some oatmeal cookies, and added the chopped candy pieces to the dough placing a candy piece on top of the cookie, too.  I always use the rolled oats to bake with for added nutrition. That way you are having healthy oatmeal with your candy, right?  Tip:  If you make these cookies, use a Silpat or parchment paper to line the baking sheets, so the melted candy in the cookies, doesn't stick to the baking sheet. These cookies will curb your cookie monsters' cravings, until you start your Holiday baking. Enjoy!

  3. Ada beberapa orang yang dirasakan dengan keadaan mereka sekarang ini. Ini bisa muncul karena pola hidup, kepuasan individu, dan akseptasi mereka pada keadaan sekarang ini.

    Badan yang fit kecuali dari hasil pola hidup sehat didukung kepiawaian kita menghindari diri dari depresi. Umumnya depresi ada karena kita begitu mengharap satu hal dan tidak terwujud hingga membuat penyesalan dalam. https://duniaidola.com/ Walau sebenarnya menurut salah satunya petuah arif, “Tidak ada hari lalu yang terbuang percuma untuk mereka yang memberikan diri mereka ini hari.” Pokok pesan ini adalah, jangan sampai menyesali apa yang terjadi, dan masih menyongsong lagu ini hari ini, selanjutnya.
