A new twist on Hershey's Peanut Butter Blossoms!

Hershey's Peanut Butter Blossoms are a unique American favorite that just about everyone enjoys regardless of their cookie preferences. Peanut Butter Blossoms are basically small, puffy peanut butter cookies with a Hershey's kiss in the center. Recently I made these but found out I didn't have any Hershey's kisses, which are the main part of the cookie. So, I improvised and found that Hershey's chocolate squares work just as well! I actually liked using the squares rather than the kisses, because the squares are much more soft and easy to bite into. The kisses have a tendency to be messy because you can't really bite off a portion of the kiss, since it's hard.

Here’s the recipe I found online for you to try:

48 HERSHEY'S bar squares

1/2 cup shortening

3/4 cup REESE'S Creamy Peanut Butter

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup packed light brown sugar

1 egg

2 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

Granulated sugar

1.    Heat oven to 375°F. Remove wrappers from chocolates. 

2.    Beat shortening and peanut butter in large bowl until well blended. Add 1/3 cup granulated sugar and brown sugar; beat until fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla; beat well. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into peanut butter mixture. 

3.    Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Roll in granulated sugar; place on ungreased cookie sheet. 

4.    Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately press a chocolate into center of each
cookie; cookie will crack around edges. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.
