Giant Reese's S'mores Skillet Cookie

I saw a picture in a magazine of a S'mores Skillet Cookie, and I decided to make one, but with my all-time favorite candy - Reese's Peanut Butter Cups!

I used the same recipe for the skillet cookie that I used a few months ago, and I simply added a layer of s'mores ingredients (Reese's, marshmallows, graham crackers) in the middle and on top.

It is definitely a decadent treat, especially if you top it with ice cream and chocolate syrup!
