We’re counting down to Halloween… and making notes of things to do with all that trick-or-treating candy. Before you donate to Operation Gratitude, help your kids sell their candy to their dentist, or make an offering to the Switch Witch, stash a few handfuls of your favorite chocolate candies to make candy cookies!

(Maybe don’t make these the day after Halloween… they definitely won’t help the inevitable sugar crash).

M&Ms, Hershey Bars, Kit Kats, and Reese’s Peanut Butter cups are all great options for candy cookies! Experiment with your kids and find a cookie concoction that’s all your own. 

Even more delicious when served with milk. (Just saying…)
