Why have I never thought of doing this before?! What a great idea! Cannot WAIT to try making these 😀
I bet they’d be really good with a drizzle of caramel on top, too.
These look so delicious!! I ma not a big fan of peanut butter but have always loved the homemade pb cookies that my stepdad would make for us growing up. These will definitely taste great with Rolo candy. We used to put Hershey Kisses on ours.
Oh, these look and sound wonderful! Rolo’s are my dad’s favorite, so I just may have to make these!
Rolos are my favorite treat! My husband has fond memories of his grandma always having these so he thinks of them as an “old person” candy, but they are NOT!! Will def. add this recipe to my cookie book!!
These cookies look amazing!! Thanks for sharing!
