Reese Peanut Butter w/ M&Ms Cookies

It's great when you have leftover candy to use up and even better when you can use the same recipe for two different things. I had some mini Reese Peanut Butter Cups and a bag of M&Ms and found a great peanut butter cookie recipe to use for both. I used a muffin tin for the Reese cups and then after I used up what I needed from that dough I just added some M&Ms to the remaining and put them on a cookie sheet. I think these cookies would work great with all sorts of chocolate candy like Hershey's Kisses, Reese's Pieces, etc. Look in your cupboards and see what kind of chocolate candy you have hanging around and then make a great cookie out of them!
