  13. Hi Jane,

    I check your blog quite often and love it! I just wanted to pass on a little snickers idea for you. I am sure you know all about this seeing as your Mom works for M&M. But, if you make your favorite peanut butter cookies and roll a half of a mini snickers in the middle they are a very yummy treat. Just an idea!

  20. You must use those candies to make these blondies (I guarantee they will be good!)

    from the cake mix doctor book
    Candy Bars:

    1 pckg yellow cake mix
    1/2 c packed light brown suger
    8 tbsp (1 stick) butter melted
    2 lg eggs
    1 c. chopped candy bar pieces

    Heat oven to 350.

    Place everything but candy in mixing bowl and mix until combined. Fold in candy bar pieces until well distributed. Pour batter into ungreased 13x9 pan. Smooth out with spatula so it reaches all sides.

    Cook until toothpick is clean, 40-45 mins.

    These are very yummy! My favorite is milky way bars in it.

    =)
