Soft & chewy chocolate cookies with Reese’s Pieces inside. The perfect way to use up that Halloween candy!
OMG. It’s finally Friday.
I feel like this week has dragged on. I hate that.
So here are some cookies to celebrate the weekend! I made these the other day and they disappeared in like 20 minutes. My boys loved them.
It’s kind of a good way to use up leftover Halloween candy after the big trick or treating day next week. Not that we ever have much candy leftover… more like an excuse to buy another bag of candy around here, ha!
When I was a kid, I wasn’t one to just eat all my Halloween candy in a day. I used to put all of it in one of my dresser drawers to slowly eat.
But then the following Halloween, I would STILL have a candy stash in that dresser and boy, did my brothers think that was funny! I still get teased for it. The joys of having brothers. 😉
I’m not like that now, unfortunately. I love having treats around and they don’t last long. I blame it on my kids but most the time, I’m the guilty one! Have a great weekend!

These look so perfect, Jen! (I saw them first on FoodGawker!) We nurse candy in this house, and I’ve thrown out tons when I can’t even remember what year it came from. Cookies, on the other hand, don’t last long at all in our house, so I’m definitely going to make this recipe with some trick-or-treating leftovers!
Great project !!
I would love you to come and share @ Craft, Create & Inspire linky party !!!
Look forward to seeing you there 🙂
