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!
Happy almost Halloween!!
Are you dressing up? 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.

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.
