Hi Ladies, OH yes, I have to have my cravings met! LOL I get the Crisco Newsletter and it put me in the baking mood! Now I have the oven on and first doz is baking now! My DH loves surprises and since these are called Peanut Butter Surprises I know they will be good! Any one who likes Reeses Bites will love these and very easy to make. I substituted low-fat sweetened condensed milk, for the regular! Here is the recipe, I will have to samp them. Here is the recipe!

PEANUT BUTTER SURPRISE COOKIES

Makes about 4 Dozen Cookies

24 miniature peanut butter cups

1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated milk)

3/4 cup Jif Creamy Peanut Butter

1/4 cup Butter Flavor Crisco all-vegetable shortening or 1/4 Butter Flavor Crisco stick

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups regular all-purpose baking mix

Remove wrappers from peanut butter cups. Cut candy into quarters.

Combine condensed milk, peanut butter, Butter Flavor Crisco, egg and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer until smooth. Add baking mix. Beat until well blended. Stir in candy pieces with spoon. Cover. Refrigerate 1 hour.

Heat oven to 350ºF.

Drop dough by slightly rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheet. Shape into balls with spoon.

Bake at 350ºF for 7 to 9 minutes or until light brown around edges and center is just set. Remove to cooling rack.

Uh-Oh, I forgot to shape them into balls! Oh well they are good any how! I will make the rest of them like they should be! LOL Yummy for the Tummy! SusieK

Good Afernoon KT! yes it is Bisquick! I tried to IM it to you! Maybe you did not see it! So here it is again! Just incase! I suppose jiffy mix is the same to! I always have Bisquick on hand! and Crisco! Shame on me for being a name dropper! LOL, It is all in what works best for us! I e-mailed this site to my DD2 because she remembers my casseroles that I use to make for her and the other girls! and they always loved them! It is the Crisco.com, SusieK
