I thought I should give you all a way of dealing with that uneaten chocolate left in your kids’ trick-or-treat pumpkin. Or, you know, the leftover snack-sized bars that didn’t get taken by trick-or-treaters.
*Crickets*
You ate them all? Don’t feel bad. {I did too.}
But, if you aren’t like me and actually have that thing I’ve heard about called willpower, you should make these cookies. Or, if you like to hit Target for the 50% off after-Halloween sale, stock up on just a few more bags of candy.
Because you need these cookies in your life.
See all that candy in there? You know it’s calling your name. I don’t know about all of you, but my candy coma lasts exactly 18 hours…until after lunch on November 1. Then I want more.
Doesn’t seeing it all make you want it too?
You’re welcome.
Ingredients
- 2 sticks butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 6 fun sized packs M&Ms, chopped (about ½ cup)
- 4 snack sized Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, chopped (about ½ cup)
- 5 fun sized Crunch bars, chopped (about ½ cup)
- 4 fun size Twix bars, chopped (about ½ cup)
Instructions
- Melt butter in a microwave safe bowl. Pour into an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment. While still hot, add both sugars and mix on low until combined. Let sit to cool for a few minutes.
- While butter mixture is cooling, combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir and set aside.
- Turn mixer (with butter mixture bowl attached) on low. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing completely. Mix in vanilla extract. Add flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Add chocolate chips, M&Ms, Reese’s, Crunch bars, and Twix bars; stir to combine.
- Chill for 30 minutes to one hour, until cooled.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto parchment lined cookie sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes (depending on size). Cookies made from my 2-tablespoon cookie scoop baked in 11 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, and then remove from pans to cool completely.

Hi there! I’m Dorothy, the crazy gal behind the blog. If you didn’t already know, I’m crazy for crust…and cookies…and brownies…and pretty much
anything with sugar.
i love packing my cookies to the brim with all sorts of add-ins.
and you chose my favorite candy bars! and M&Ms in cookies are always a win. I love your visual recipe index Dorothy! I’m currently having one designed for myself. Can’t wait!
