Movie Muchers

What are your favorite snacks to munch on while watching a movie? My top two favorite candies to munch on while watching movies are: 1. Milk duds! (What is better than caramel and chocolate?!)
2. Wild Berry Skittles
Some of my other faves are chocolate covered peanuts, reesee's pieces, and junior mints!

My all time favorite movie is The Notebook, I absolutely love, love, love that movie! And the last two movies that I have seen at the movie theater were Dear John and The Last Song and I highly reccomend them both if you enjoy love stories and romance. All 3 of those movies were based on novels by Nicholas Sparks and I read all of the books as well, isn't that funny? Well I don't know...maybe not! Maybe I just really enjoy love stories!

I decided to talk about my favorite movies and movie munchies because this recipe is called movie munchers, so I decided to fill you in on a few things about me! How lucky you must feel!(Just kidding!) Movie munchers are just a classic chocolate chip cookie recipe, but, you omit the chocolate chips and add chocolate covered peanuts, chocolate covered raisins, and M&M's and they get baked in muffin tins. You can really add any of your favorite movie munchies you want! Just have fun with it, which is what baking is all about....I think that is why I love it so much!

These movie munchers were very yummy; gooey on the inside (I always underbake my cookies and brownies because I like a slightly underdone and gooey center) and slighly crunchy on the outside. These were fun and a little different from a classic chocolate chip cookie or blonde brownie because of their shape and size, they were like cute cookie cupcakes.

So, you should definitely whip up a batch of these yummy movie munchers, curl up on the couch and watch a movie with some of your other favorite munchies!

Beat 2 sticks butter, 3/4 cup dark brown sugar and 3/4 cup granulated sugar until fluffy; beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla and 2 eggs. Whisk 2 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda and 1 teaspoon salt, then stir into the butter mixture. Stir in 1 cup chocolate covered peanuts, 1/2 cup chocolate covered raisins and 1/2 cup M&M's. Press scoops of dough into standard muffin cups (I used about 1/4 cup of dough for each one.) Bake 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees.
