TWD REWIND~ Chocolate Chunkers

Well we were planning on making the Creme Brulee but then found out that we could do a rewind! We had none of the right tools for the Creme Brulee so decided to make the chunkers again. The reason we didn't make the  Oatmeal chocolate chipsters, ( we loved those!) is because we ran out of peanut butter! So instead we went with our second favorite TWD cookie recipe..........CHOCOLATE CHUNKERS! This time around we put in peanuts, chocolate chips,  crushed Ore's and chopped peanut butter cups the were very good! Till next week!
