Every November 1, the same dilemma grips households across America. What to do with all of those Fun Size candy bars that are less popular among family members?  Our oldest son, Jacob, is allergic to nuts and as a result, we look for ways to unload peanut candies without shoveling all of them into Dad’s mouth.

Well, here is a solution for some of those mini goodies… cookies that perfectly complement those mini Baby Ruth, Snickers, and Milky Way candy bars that have overrun your kitchen counter.

Start unwrapping and get ready to share these post-Halloween treats.
