ANDES PEPPERMINT CRUNCH CHUNKIES



Andes Peppermint Crunch Chunkies image

I got this recipe from a bag of Andes new peppermint crunch baking chips. The flavor is fabulous, but for some reason, when I baked them, they wouldn't bake through and I had to scrape them off the cookie sheets. They ended up being tasty, slightly chewy blobs... Perhaps someone will be brave enough to try this or to help me figure out how to fix the recipe?
