So I finally returned from my baking hiatus if for no other reason than an excuse to use my new camera.
I decided on a trusty batch of heath bar cookies, even imagining added a new element, peanut butter. The only problem: my stockpile of cooking fillers had dwindled over the holidays and I was left with was a bag of leftover Halloween candy and no heath bars to speak of.
I can’t say improvised recipes will always be a success, but these last-minute heath bar Peanut Butter Crunch Cookies were a hit!
