Notes

Candy Bar Pieces. You will want to use a large kitchen knife to chop about 2 cups worth of candy bar pieces about the size of M&Ms.

Caramel candy- To help prevent the caramel filling candy from oozing out, consider freezing those candies before cutting them. This will make them easier to cut and it will prevent the caramels from melting too quickly.

Chill the dough. If your cookies spread too much, then it is a good idea to chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking to firm up the butter, preventing excessive spreading.

Storage. Allow the cookies to cool and then STORE at room temperature in an airtight container. Placing a piece of white bread into the container will help keep the cookies soft. FREEZE in a Freezer Ziploc, separating layers with wax paper, for 3-6 months.
