Chocolate chip cookies and candy bars hold a special place in our hearts, reminding us of sweet, carefree days of childhood. There’s something magical about revisiting those classic, nostalgic flavors. Now, imagine blending these two timeless treats into one irresistible candy chocolate chip cookie. 

The thought alone makes any chocolate chip cookie lover’s heart skip a beat! The combination tickles our taste buds and awakens cherished memories, making the allure undeniable.

However, baking with candy bars can be tricky, as they sometimes behave differently than expected when mixed into cookie dough. 

But don’t worry! We’ve scoured for recipes that iron out these kinks, ensuring that your candy-infused cookies come out perfectly every time. 

1. Snickers Candy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Indulge in the rich, hearty flavors of Snickers chocolate chip cookies. They are a luxurious twist on the classic cookie.

Packed with the robust goodness of peanuts and nougat, Snickers bars are chopped and stirred into the dough, to create a cookie that’s brimming with texture and depth. 

We found these on Cooking Classy and they did not disappoint!

The peanuts add a satisfying crunch, while the nougat blends in a soft, chewy contrast, crafting a cookie that’s not just a treat but a rich, fulfilling experience. Prepare your palate for a chocolate chip cookie with snickers that’s not just sweet, but wholesomely decadent, ensuring every bite is a delightful journey of flavors.

And yes, these are VERY good warm.

2. Rolo Candy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Although we are partial to homemade chocolate chip cookie dough, we are not averse to store-bought dough at all! Sometimes you just have to have some chocolate chip cookies with Rolos love without the fuss. 

That’s what makes these Rolo chocolate chip cookies from Cook Fast Eat Well perfect for end-of-the-day cravings. 

They are convenient, fast, and hit the spot. Perfect for parties, movie nights, and simple indulgences. 

This one stands out as an all-time favorite among the tempting array of candy chocolate chip cookies we’ve explored!

3. Reese’s Peanutbutter Cup Candy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reeses Peanut Butter Cups are a no-brainer for our candy chocolate chip cookie list. There’s just something about peanut butter cups that are hard to say no to. A Reese’s Chocolate Chip Cookie is no exception. 

These chocolate chip cookies with Reese’s Peanut Butter cups from Stephanie’s Sweet Treats fit the bill. 

When you chop up the Reese’s Cups and mix them into the cookie dough, you make every bite extra special. The peanut butter and chocolate from the Reese’s Cups spread all through the cookie, making a perfect mix of smooth, creamy, and sweet. 

As the cookies bake, Reese’s cup pieces melt a little, sharing their amazing taste with the whole cookie. Not to mention the amazing pockets of velvety texture in each bite. If you love peanut butter and chocolate, these cookies are sure to be your new favorite.

A word of caution. Do not attempt to eat these without a cold glass of milk.

4. Heath Bar Candy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Heath Bar Chocolate Chip Cookies are a real treat with their distinct toffee flavor. Toffee from Heath bars adds a rich, buttery taste that makes these cookies stand out.

If you’re up for trying something new, we recommend the Brown Butter Toffee Recipe from Sally’s Baking Addiction. 

This recipe calls for browning butter. We consider this an intermediate baking skill and is a bit tricky. However,  if you know how to do it, give it a shot! 

Don’t worry if you’re not ready for that step – you can still make amazing cookies. Just chop up a Heath bar and add the pieces to your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. It’s that easy! 

We love this recipe because it keeps the yummy semi-sweet chocolate chips, too. So you get the best of both worlds – rich toffee and sweet chocolate in every delicious bite!

5. Butterfinger Candy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Butterfinger chocolate chip cookies are a crunchy treat that catches everyone’s attention! The pieces of Butterfinger add a special flaky crunch that makes these cookies particular good.

We like the Butterfinger Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe from Lemons for Lulu. The best part about chocolate chip cookies with Butterfinger is you can make these cookies your way. 

If you like, chop up a Butterfinger bar into pieces that are just the right size for you. (I can’t imagine anyone hating a large piece of Butterfinger in their cookie. Am I right?) 

Or, to make things super easy, grab a bag of Butterfinger baking pieces from the baking aisle at the store. They’re right next to the chocolate chips. 

Whether you chop your own or use the ready-made pieces, you’ll end up with amazing cookies that have that special Butterfinger crunch in every bite!

6. Twix Candy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Twix candy chocolate chip cookies are a unique treat! It’s like a cookie inside a cookie. 

Imagine biting into a chocolate chip cookie and finding crunchy, flaky bits of buttery Twix cookie, gooey caramel, and smooth chocolate. You can with these cookies! 

The pieces of Twix add so much fun texture and mixture of flavors. We like the Twix Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe from Averie Cooks. 

She makes the cookies nice and thick, which is perfect for hiding the Twix pieces inside. 

Every bite is a delicious surprise because you never know if you’ll get a chunk of Twix, some oozy caramel, or luckily both. It’s like a treasure hunt in every cookie. 

7. M&M Candy Chocolate Chip Cookies

What’s more fun and welcoming than the bright colors of M&M candies? Even if you’re not the biggest fan of M&M’s on their own, it’s really hard to turn down joyful, crunchy M&M chocolate chip cookies.

M&M Candy Chocolate Chip Cookies are not a mystery. They are just like chocolate chip cookies but with a little extra sparkle. 

The best way to touch up a chocolate chip cookie recipe with M&M’s is with Mini M&M’s for baking. They can be found on the baking aisle next to the chocolate chips. 

You can mix a small amount right into the cookie dough while also pressing them into the outside of the cookie ball. The colors on the colorful hard candy shells will bleed a bit into your dough.

Not to worry. 

The M&M’s you coat the outside of the cookie dough ball dont bleed as much as the candies inside the cookie. Regardless, M&M candies make crunchy delightful chocolate chip cookies that kids and adulte love.

We are partiral to these M&M Chocolate Chip Cookies from I Heart Naptime.
