Halloween Candy-Bar Cookies

Every time I walk past the big bowl of leftover Halloween chocolates near my front door I am tempted to eat one. I have an internal battle with myself, though it always goes the say way: “mmmm Snickers… or Twix… but I already feel so sick from eating them all… but they are so good… but… how am I eating this already?”.

Last night I was avoiding the tiny bars, calling out to me, when I had a great idea: chocolate bars are like chocolate chips – why not put them in cookies? So I did, and they turned out great!

These cookies are delicious and easier to get rid of than mini chocolate bars. You can make a ton of them and send them to work with your husband, put them out at a party, or send them to soccer practice with your kids – then everyone else will gobble up your leftover Halloween candy for you. Perfect.

You can use any cookie recipe that has chocolate chips in it to make Halloween cookies, but here is the recipe that I used:

Halloween Candy-Bar Cookies!

Recipe at my Recipe Box
Yield: 3 dozen
Ingredients
  • ¾ Cup unsalted butter
  • 1 Cup granulated sugar
  • ½ Cup light brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 Tablespoons half and half
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ Teaspoon salt
  • 2 ¼ Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • ¾ Cup uncooked oats
  • 2 Cups candy bars, chopped, (around 15 fun-size bars)
Method
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cream butter and sugars in mixer bowl. Add egg, egg yolk and cream, and mix to combine. Sift together dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking soda) and add to the sugars, mixing until dough is a uniform consistency.

Chop candy bars in to small pieces (about the size of large chocolate chips). Add candy bar pieces and oats to the mixture, and mix by hand to combine.

Chill dough in the freezer for a few minutes to make sure it is cold. Using a 1 tbsp measure, drop dough onto cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes and transfer to a wire rack to cool.


Enjoy!
