Ingredients: 1 cup ground Werther's original candies (about 35 candies) 1 can dulce de leche caramel sauce 2 1/2 cups pastry flour 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 stick of melted butter 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 cup of brown sugar Begin by creaming the butter, ground candy and brown sugar until smooth and velvety. Add dulce de leche and beat for a few more minutes, until well combined. Mix flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Slowly add flour mixtu
