1 teaspoon vanilla
3 1/2 cups all purpose flour (sifted)
1 teaspoon baking soda

Combine the butter, peanut butter, and sugars using a mixer on a medium to low speed until light and fluffy.
Slowly add eggs and vanilla until thoroughly combined. Then mix in flour, salt and baking soda.
Cover and chill dough for 2-3 hours.
Unwrap all SNICKERS® Miniatures.

Remove dough from refrigerator. Divide into 1-tablespoon pieces and flatten.

Form the dough into a ball around each SNICKERS® Miniatures.
