Difficulty: Easy
What you'll need:
- 1 bag M&M'S® Brand Milk or Peanut Chocolate Candies
- 1 18-oz. roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 1 7-oz. bag soft caramels, unwrapped
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 cup cocktail peanuts, dried cranberries, raisins or cherries
- 1 9 x 13-inch non-stick baking pan
What to do:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Using lightly floured fingers, break up the cookie dough and press it into the bottom of the baking pan to form a crust. Prick the dough with a fork. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown. Remove and cool for 10 minutes.
- In the meantime, melt the caramels with the water in the microwave for 1-1/2 minutes. Stir occasionally until caramel is smooth. Spread caramel mixture over the cookie crust, covering it completely.
- Sprinkle the caramel layer with the peanuts or dried fruits and M&M'S® Brand Milk or Peanut Chocolate Candies. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Using a knife or cookie cutters, press or cut out 2-inch geometric shapes.
