4. Cover and chill for 2-3 hours
Note: I have GREATLY reduced this time and they've turned out fine
5. While dough is chilling, unwrap Snickers. This is a fun task for the kids!
6. Divide dough into 1 T. pieces and flatten.
7. Place 1 Snickers in center of each. Form dough into a ball around each Snickers.
Note: I usually roll the ball, flatten the dough and hand it to my kids. They love to roll the dough around the Snickers.
8. Place on greased cookie sheet.
9. Bake at 325 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
Note: I like to cook them for the full 12 minutes in order to get the Snickers to melt.
