1/2 cup Reese's Pieces®
1/2 cup chocolate covered raisins
1/2 cup peanuts or Peanut M&M's®

Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease 2 baking sheets.

In a medium bowl, stir together flour oats, candies, nuts, salt, baking powder and baking soda.

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars. Beat in the egg. Stir in dry ingredients until just combined. Drop batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly.
