Vending Machine Quick Fire Challenge!



Inspired by last night's episode of Top Chef Masters I looked for some stuff laying around my house that you would find in a vending machine and made something quick with it. Its not really a challenge, and its not really interesting, but its pretty tasty.



Double Chocolate Snickers Cookies

2 snickers bars, frozen and chopped
1cup AP flour
1/2cup cocoa powder
1/2tsp baking soda
1/2tsp salt
3.5 oz dark chocolate
1 stick butter
1cup brown sugar
1Tbsp molasses
1/2cup sugar
2 eggs

Preheat oven to 350F. Melt butter and chocolate together. Sift together AP, cocoa, salt and BS. Beat eggs, sugars and molasses together. Combine all ingredients and fold in chopped Snickers bars.
Scoop and bake cookies until puffed up but still soft in the middle.

The cookies came out chewy. The caramel and nougat from the Snickers melted out and got even more caramelized during baking. The dark caramel gave a bit of bitterness that balances out the sweetness of the cookie. You will definitely need a glass of milk with these.
