DIY: Leftover Halloween Chocolate Cookie Bars
Leftover Halloween Candy never looked so delicious!
A chocolate chip cookie on steroids.
Have you ever wanted a warm fresh baked chocolate chip cookie but better?
Well, you might have stumbled into the right place. This recipe showed me just how easy it is to make your own chocolate chip cookie (say goodbye to store-bought packs for now on) and different ways to put your own personal touch on them! With the thickness of these cookie bars and the fact that it only requires only six ingredients, this is sure to be a hit for your families and wallet.
After an evening of aimlessly scrolling through Pinterest, I came across these Do-It-Yourself "Chocolate chip" cookie bars, made from Halloween chocolate. (any type of chocolate you can find will work) When I found this recipe I had to make them because I didn't have any brownie or chocolate chip cookie mix in the pantry. These leftover Halloween cookie bars taste amazing. What's even better is that you probably already have ALL the ingredients you need to make it, in your home too. These cookies taste like cookies with your favorite chocolate candy in them! Mine had peanut butter/chocolate cups, mini milky ways, and Tootsie Rolls (all that I had at the time). Next time, I'm remaking these with M&M's, cookies and creme Hershey's, and Butterfingers; I already can not wait!
Finally, a reason to delve into that Halloween candy stash... or buy some more!
