Blue Ribbon Recipe by

I have 4 kids, and we get a lot of Halloween candy. So I just make cookies with it.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

If you're looking to get rid of extra Halloween candy, try these fantastic cookies. Once baked, they're thin and slightly crisp around the edges with a wonderfully gooey middle. In the Test Kitchen, we chopped Butterfingers, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and M&Ms. The result was a great cookie! You can use any type of Halloween candy that melts in this cookie.
