Chocolate Surprise Crinkle Cookies filled with pieces of your favorite candy inside and rolled in powdered sugar – the best way to use up any leftover candy PLUS a $300 Giveaway for PayPal Cash or Amazon Gift Card!
Happy Halloween!!
Are you dressing up today? I have been in such a bah humbug sort of Halloween mood. I feel like Halloween stretches on and on and on. There’s a Halloween party every weekend during the month of October, for goodness sake! Whatever. At least it’s a holiday about candy. 😉
Speaking of sweets, my mom used to make chocolate crinkle cookies all the time when I was a kid. They were always one of my favorite treats. Have you ever made them before?
I sort of amped them up by putting candy inside the middle for a little surprise treat when you bit into it. And you never know what kind of candy you’ll bite into, hence the “surprise” crinkle cookies.
The cookie above has half of a miniature Milky Way inside. Love the ooey gooey caramel in the center. I went a little crazy and tried M&M’s, Twix, Crunch bar, Reese’s, Almond Joy… you name it. I think the Milk Way was my favorite. 🙂
After the craziness of Halloween, you need to make these cookies to use up all your candy lying around. You will instantly fall in love.
Also, don’t forget to enter the $300 Giveaway below! You could win $300 in Paypal Cash or an Amazon Gift Card – both would be perfect for your holiday shopping. Can’t believe how quick that’s coming up!

How cute is that! I love the idea of a candy surprise!
Thanks Annie!!
I wish I had candy that lasted long enough to bake into cookies! But I bet they taste great without.
Love that surprise filling, Jen! These cookies look amazing, and I have tons of candy to try them with.
