Peanut Butter Reece's Pieces Cookies

Peanut Butter Reece's Pieces Cookies
I made these cookies the other day. I had been craving Reece's Pieces like crazy, so I thought why not incorporate them into a cookie. I turned to my trusty Betty Crocker Cookbook and found my standby peanut butter cookie recipe.

Heat the oven to 375ยบ.  Mix everything but the candies together. Once the dough is starting to form add the candies. If desired more or less than two cups may be used. Make 1 inch balls. Then with a fork, make a criss-cross pattern flattening the balls. Bake for 9 to 10 minutes. Enjoy!
