"Chunks of caramel-y, crunchy chocolate loaded in a cookie? Sign me up," says Kristy of Sweet Treats & More. And we have to say, her browned-butter chunky Twix cookies are inspiring us to go on a sugar-and-butter bender! "You get a cookie that's slightly crispy around the edges, and soft and chewy in the middle," she says of her recipe. "If you're lucky, you'll get some cookies that ooze a little of the caramel from the Twix chunks when they bake. The ones with the ooze are the best!"

Halloween candy also inspired Tanya of Lemons For Lulu to create these Milk Dud Nutella cookies. "The caramel is soft and chewy," she says. "The chocolate coating melts into the cookie for a more intense chocolate flavor. Nutella provides all the chocolate flavoring for this cookie while adding a touch of hazelnut. This is really a dynamic combination. A perfect use of Milk Duds, if you ask me!"
