Ingredients:

1 cup butter

1 cup sugar

1 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

2 tsp. vanilla

2-1/2 cups flour

3/4 cup cocoa

1 tsp. baking soda

3 Heath candy bars (chocolate covered toffee)

1- 12 oz bag Rolos

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Beat butter and sugars until fluffy, then add eggs and vanilla and beat well. In a separate bowl, mix flour, cocoa and baking soda. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture a little bit at a time and blend well. Cover and chill dough for about 30 minutes.

Chop Heath bars into small pieces. Place in a small bowl and toss with 1 Tbsp sugar.

Once the dough has chilled, wrap a piece around each unwrapped caramel…

forming a 1 inch ball and covering the candy completely.

Roll dough ball into the candy topping—

then place on parchment -lined baking sheet.

Bake for 7-10 minutes. Cookies will look quite soft, but do not over bake.

Cool in pan slightly, then move to a counter to finish cooling. Store in a covered container.

Makes about 4 dozen of the most decadent little things you’ve ever tasted…in your livin’  life.
