Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Prepare a standard 12-cup muffin tin by greasing it lightly with cooking spray or lining it with paper muffin liners.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
4
Incorporate the chunky peanut butter into the flour mixture, using a fork or pastry cutter, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, beaten egg, and milk until well combined.
6
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir gently for about 15 seconds, just until the mixture is combined. Remember, a few small pockets of flour are okay.
7
Gently fold in the chopped Snickers bars for about 10 seconds, being careful not to overmix.
8
Evenly distribute the batter into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 of the way full to allow for rising.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and spring back slightly when touched.
10
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes. Afterwards, transfer the muffins to the wire rack to cool completely.
