Candylicious junkyard cookies

Candylicious junkyard cookies

Welcome to dessert week! Thats right a whole week or should I say 5 days dedicated to sweets. Let’s just say that I have been craving sweet stuff for a while and finally decided to satisfy my cravings. Don’t worry I’ll be back with savory food this next week.

Now on to these candylicious junkyard cookies. Most people are stocking up with candy to fill their kids Easter eggs or they are getting it for themselves. Just like Halloween we are usually overloaded with chocolate and don’t know what to do with it. Today I’m letting you know it is OK to put it all into a cookie and enjoy it all at once.

Heck I will even let you HAVE two cookies possibly three. My husband who isn’t a big fan of sweets (SHOCKER I KNOW) ate almost all of the cookies.

These candy cookies hit the spot and earned my respect as being the first dessert to represent DESSERT WEEK! I have so much goodness coming this week and I hope you stay tuned to help satisfy your cravings as well.
