Perfect for Christmas giving and eating!
My kids love Rolos.
Really.
They fight over them like they do the last few marshmallows in Lucky Charms. Which leads me to a random question.
Do your kids eat all the marshmallows out of the Lucky Charms and then leave the rest of the cereal there for eternity? Yeah, mine too.
Yum.
Although these cookies are good warm or cooled off, there was some debate about the exact perfect temperature.
One of my children liked them really warm (be careful, the insides are hot) so that the caramel and chocolate are a liquid and drip out with every bite.
Another thinks they are perfect at warm but not hot so that the caramel is gooey, and another liked them cold so that the caramel and chocolate are more solid.
The texture and flavor changes in this cookie as it cools so you really are forced to try it at each temperature.
Forced, I'm telling ya.
In any case it is a tender cookie with the flavors of peanut butter, chocolate, and caramel in each bite. It takes a little practice to seal the dough around the candy but be sure to cover it completely so all that melty goodness stays on the inside.
I am thinkin' if you leave a few of these out for Santa you just might get that really big gift you have been asking for every year. You know, yeah... that one.
It's a good cookie for the kids to help with, too. You can wrap the dough around the Rolos and the kids can roll the cookie balls in colored sugar. Sprinkles work just fine, too.

I thought these treat boxes were perfect for holding those holiday gifts from the kitchen! I don't know about you but I am always looking for something cute to give the cookies in.

Do you freeze it after you bake or do you freeze the dough first and then put it in a freezer container? How long can you store in the freezer?

Either way is fine - It's fine for 3 months but I've frozen it for as much as 6.

I'm confused by the amount the recipe makes with over 3 cups of flour...it only makes 4?
