  • It is March, and that means one thing in this house - Easter candy has officially hit the shelves at the grocery store! Easter candy is probably my favorite seasonal candy - especially Cadbury Mini Eggs. But how do you make the best candy even better? The answer, in this case and almost always, is to add peanut butter! These thick, soft peanut butter cookies are the perfect base for the sweet milk chocolate of a mini egg. I have been testing this recipe quite a bit to make sure it is absolutely perfect, and though I have stacks and stacks of peanut butter cookies in the freezer now, I am not complaining; I love them! I also love Inside Out Chocolate Chip Cookies and Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies - if you haven't made them yet you need to!
