Snickers Surprise

Remember when I told you all about the Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap? Well, it happened! :D I was so excited to get my 3 matches and send them cookies and get some cookies back. It took me forever to decide what to make, but my dad helped me out by suggesting I send my Snickers Surprise cookies: a delicious peanut butter cookie with a mini snicker stuffed inside! Sounds good, right? So I baked, and I sent, and I waited, and soon enough I received cookies from people who received ME as a match. I got some delicious Almond Crescents, Peanut Butter cookies with a reese's cup inside, and Compost Cookies...they were all fantastic! And presented so beautifully! I tried to take some pictures but my family gobbled them all up! xD It was a great experience...I want the people who sent me cookies to know how much I truly appreciate it, and I hope those who received my cookies enjoyed them :) And a big thanks to The Little Kitchen and Love and Olive Oil for putting the whole thing together!!
