You know when you go to the movies and you want to eat all that "stuff" they sell at the concession stand because it all looks so good! Well, here is a cookie that allows you to have everything you want in a creamy dreamy mouthful. Chocolaty, crunchy, creamy and ooey gooey with malted milk balls, raisinets, peanuts, marshmallows, and more chocolate! Surprisingly they are not "over the top" cloyingly sweet but just rich with chocolate goodness. This is a good base recipe that you can modify to top off with your own favorite movie snacks. Let me know how you change it for your own taste!
