My sweet tooth seems to be rearing its head again because i'm back again with a sweet treat for you! I swear, before having kids I never had a sweet tooth but now I definitely have my days and it mostly seems to lean towards cookies! My boys love M&M's though I rarely let them have very many (though I think my hubby enjoyed them most). To get the picture, I had a small fishbowl sized thing I had half way filled for the boys circus birthday party back in April and these cookies finally used up the last of the candies. I love these especially because well they taste fabulous and the best part is they don't flatten when you take them out of the oven, YAY! These are really easy to make and you can surely substitute your favorite candy... I think next i'll try them with the peanut butter M&M's, YUM!!!
