I bet that, if you’re a blogger, I could say the name of an ingredient and you could immediately spout at least five things to make with it.
Like, if I shouted “REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS!” in a room at a food blogger conference I would immediately get responses like:
Stuffed Cupcakes!
Stuffed Cookies!
Pudding!
Pie!
Cheesecake!
Ice Cream!
Rice Krispie Treats!
Truffles!
Am I right?
It would be like brainstorming gone mad.
But what about when the ingredient is the dessert? Makes it a little harder.
Like, for example, sugar cookies.
When I think “sugar cookie,” I think cute designs and royal icing. I think about Christmas.
{I mean, sure I think about pie crust too, doesn’t everyone?}
But if you want a treat that actually tastes like a sugar cookie, it’s a little harder.
My step-father-in-law (that’s a mouthful, let’s call him M), loves sugar cookies.
Like, really loves them.
So, every year for his birthday and Christmas I make him some.
But really, I can’t just make sugar cookies anymore.
{Except at Christmas. Not making them then would be sacrilege.}
In blog-land-life, when you make stuff like carrot cake cinnamon rolls and ICEE cupcakes, you can’t just make a sugar cookie a second time (says the little voice in my head).
Besides, I did that last year. But I made it a bar cookie.
So this year, when M’s birthday rolled around I was stumped.
And then I remembered Shelly’s Brownie Batter Bark.
And I realized how I’d create another good sugar rush for the man who can eat an entire batch of cookies without gaining an ounce.
Enter sugar cookie dough and white candy melts.
Add some sprinkles and you’ve got a super sweet sugar cookie dessert.
That’s not a sugar cookie.
But kinda is.
I can’t wait to try the other options for this.
I’m sure it involves Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
And, maybe, pie.
Ingredients
- 1 pouch sugar cookie mix
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 24 ounce package white candy melts
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper and set aside.
- Mix sugar cookie mix, butter, and milk in a medium bowl. Melt half your candy melts and spread in an even layer on cookie sheet. Top evenly with cookie dough and press to spread across candy, leaving an edge of candy around the dough. Chill for about 10 minutes.
- Melt remaining candy melts. Pour over top of chilled sugar cookie dough. Spread evenly to cover dough. Cover with sprinkles and chill until hardened. Break apart and enjoy!
Enjoy, and thanks for reading!

Hi there! I’m Dorothy, the crazy gal behind the blog. If you didn’t already know, I’m crazy for crust…and cookies…and brownies…and pretty much
anything with sugar.
I love this idea, Dorothy! And I love peanut butter cups
you just gave me a great idea…
OMG. Must make immediately.
My feelings exactly!
So crazy interesting….
Dudes and dudettes, it is CRAZY good. Super sweet, crunchy yet smooth… Let’s just sum it up entirely with the adjective “heavenly” because it most certainly is. Dorothy, you rock. I’m glad you’re neurotic like me
this is PERFECT! cookie dough, bark, sprinkles, nobake – love everything about it!
Thanks Averie!
I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE this! I’ve been brainstorming ways to make that recipe differently too– this is PERFECT!! Way to nail it on the head
Beautiful pics too.
Pinning…I’d like a box of this delivered ASAP! I think I will make it for my son’s birthday party favors for Friday! Thanks for the great idea! I agree the pics are gorgeous!
Ummm, yes. And more. And then I want to eat again. And maybe again after that until I die a happy sugary coma death. Please.
LOL! Total sugar coma on a plate. Thanks Lisa!
Dorothy, I love how your mind thinks!! What a great idea and I bet “M” loved the new version. This is a definite try and by the way, sign me up for the “Think Tank!!”
Sugar cookie bark is genius! It looks so delicious.
Yup, you yell out an ingredient and my mind goes 10 different direction…food bloggers for ya:-) I am so with you too on only making something once! Sugar cookie bark…such a fun and awesome way to reinvent the cookie!!!
Beyond awesome … that’s all
Thanks Keri!

I’m stopping by from Whimsy Wednesday to say hello. I hope you’ll come visit me at jugglingactmama.blogspot.com
This is such a great idea! I will be trying this one soon
I hope you enjoy! Thanks so much!
I wonder if you could make them into balls and dip? But this way sounds much easier!
Yes! It’s much like a cookie dough truffle but WAY easier to make!
Sounds great!! Love the sprinkles. So fun!
Wow Dorothy! What a sugar-filled insanely sprinkly dessert! I think my dentist would kil me with one bite! So worth it though., I am loving this. Sugar cookie anything (with tons of sprinkles) is my dream come true!
I think mine would too! Thanks Sally!
no-bake sugar cookies I’M in {seriously cannot wait for the fall weather}
I know how you feel!!!
Oh my!! I have a few guys in my life who would go crazy for this!!! My husband and FIL (and son for that matter), are pretty much sugar cookie addicts!!
They totally would. I did!
Thanks Erin!
If this is anything like the sugar cookie fudge I’ve made, I’d eat the whole pile of it. What’s the texture like?? It almost looks “cookie-ish”.
Awesome! Yummm – I could sooo go for some of this right now!
Me too!
Those look gorgeous!
Thanks Jen!
What a great idea! I’m totally with you on not being able to make the same treat twice. This is a fantastic twist on the classic.
Thanks Nicola! Glad to hear I’m not alone!
A perfect treat for the kiddies.
Yes, my kid loved it!
Love this idea! Will have to make for someones birthday treat
Enjoy, and thanks!
