Baskin-Robbins teams up with Hershey

If you are tired of buying the same flavors of ice cream all the time, this could possibly shake things up a little for you. Baskin-Robbins has teamed up with Hershey to create Candy Bar Madness ice cream treats - nine different treats that mix various Hershey candy bars (Heath, Kissables / Kisses, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups) into ice creams, shakes, sundaes, and ice cream cakes.

A typical example? The Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Sundae is made from a triple layer of Reese's Peanut Butter Cup ice cream, hot fudge, Reese's Peanut Butter Sauce, and chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. I think I gained five pounds just typing that. Decadent, indeed.

As good as it all sounds though, I'm not really sure how different this is from what Dairy Queen is already doing, and I can't help but feel that the last thing we all need is to not just have one dessert or treat, but add another one on top of it at the same time. That said though, I'm willing to bet they sell like crazy.

Put extra candy into a batch of cookies!

Partially influenced by low prices and partially by the fact that I rationalize by saying I could use any leftovers up in a recipe, I always buy a few too many bags of candy around this time of year. In particular, I like to buy the seasonally-colored candies, like holiday M&Ms or, in this case, Halloween/Fall Kissables. Instead of their usually rainbow-colored shells, the candies are all coated in orange and yellow.

Kissables have a crisp candy shell, and fall halfway between the size of a regular chocolate chip and a Hershey's kiss, so the crunch is quite substantial. They work very well in cookies, since most chocolate chip cookie recipes make a fairly chewy cookie and the crunch is a great addition to the overall texture. These particular cookies are buttery, crispy on the edges and slightly chewy in the center, though the will soften slightly after a day or two. If you don't want to use Kissables, M&Ms or any other similarly sized candy (cut up candy bars, etc) will work, too.

Read on for the recipe.
