Leftover Halloween Candy Cookie Bars
This is the perfect recipe to use up all that leftover Halloween candy.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips or M&M's
- leftover Halloween candy roughly chopped (choclated based works best, no gummies)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line a baking dish with parchment pray or spray with nonstick baking spray.
- In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking soda and salt.
- In a separate bowl (I used my Kithchen Aid) mix together butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until creamed together.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla to the butter sugar mixture, mixing well.
- Add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) into the wet ingredients, and stir until combined.
- Sprinkle in the chocolate chips or M &Ms
- Spread the cookie dough into the prepared baking dish, pressing down until firm.
- Bake until golden brown (about 20-25 minutes).
- While the cookie dough bakes, unwrap your Halloween candies and chop or break into chunks.
- When the cookie dough is done baking, remove from oven. Press the chocolate pieces into the top of the cookie while still warm. We had leftover googly eye sprinkles so I sprinkled those on as well.
- Allow to completely cool, then cut and serve.
