Snickers Cookie Bars

These are unbelievable. Out of this world. Totally worth every last calorie. Zach agrees too. It's just something about the way the Snickers carmelize during the baking process and get all gooey yet sort of crispy at the same time. Plus, they are simple. I love simple. In fact, it should be my middle name. Brittany Simple Fullwood. I'll take it.
