Baby Ruth Cookies

Baby Ruth Cookies and Candy Bar Desserts

While candy bars are perfectly delicious all on their own, it’s also fun to incorporate them into desserts. Here in the MSSK recipe index you’ll find several to choose from. Confections like my no-bake Caramel Snickers Candy Bar Pie and sweet and salty Candy Bar Pretzel Cookies are always a happy sight. If you’re feeling creative, you may also like to try these Mock Baby Ruth Bars from Homemade Hooplah for a homemade version.

Tips For Making Candy Bar Cookies

Things to remember:

• Homemade cookie dough is very forgiving and has the bonus of being able to be prepared in advance. When using the freshest of dairy products, this cookie dough will last chilled for up to one week in the fridge. It can be frozen for up to two months.
• It’s important to take time to evenly mix the candy bar pieces throughout the dough. This will help ensure a more uniform batch of cookies.
• The cookies will spread while baking, and it’s not unusual for some of the candy bar pieces to melt and escape along the edges. This is part of the beauty of candy bar cookies and not a sign that something went wrong.
• Depending on how you divide the dough, the baking time may need adjusting. Smaller cookies will take less time to bake. Likewise, if you choose to make larger cookies they’ll take longer. Keep and eye on them and adjust accordingly.
• When making the dough in advance, store chilled in an airtight container in the fridge. If you start with chilled cookie dough, the cookies may take longer to bake.
