Leftover Halloween Candy Cookie Bars
These Leftover Halloween Candy Cookie Bars are a delicious, easy, and creative way to use your leftover Halloween candy this season. The cookie bars are made with a cake mix but taste just like the ooey-gooey cookie bars in your dreams.
Ingredients
- 2 Boxes Cake Mix Yellow
- 4 Large Eggs
- 1 Cup Vegetable Oil
- Leftover Halloween Candy
Instructions
- First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Next, place the wrapped Halloween candy in the freezer. This will prevent the chocolate from melting when you unwrap it and chop it up later.
- Add the cake mix, eggs, and oil to a large bowl, mix thoroughly.
- Then, unwrap the chilled Halloween candy, chop it into bite-sized pieces, and fold 3/4 of the candy into the cookie dough.
- Transfer the cookie dough into a 9"x13" pan lined with parchment paper.
- Using a spoon, 'spread' the dough evenly across the entire pan.
- Top with the remaining ¼ of candy.
- Bake the cookies for about 45 minutes, or until the tops of the cookie bars are golden brown.
- Remove the cookie bars from the oven and let them cool complete in the pan before cutting into them.
- To remove the cookies from the pan, lift both sides of the parchment paper and transfer the cookies onto a cutting board or another flat surface.
- Cut the cookies into 1" squares, for a total of 24 cookie bars.
- Enjoy!

- The Estimated Cost does not include the price of the leftover Halloween candy.
