Monster Cookie Recipe

Have you ever had a Monster Cookie? I am not sure why they are called Monster Cookies other than the fact that these things are loaded with goodness. I thought it would be fun to share our little Halloween twist on our Monster Cookie Recipe…

This would be a fun door bell ditching gift for you neighbors sometime around Halloween. Simply whip up your favorite batch of Monster Cookies and package them in this labeled jar, which is simply a cleaned out pickle jar.

Make sure you really clean it out as you don’t want the cookies to have a pickle after taste! Then slap on one of these Monster Cookie Labels that I made from one of Love Manor’s amazing Halloween Labels. Some of you may remember a couple of years ago when I used some of these same labels on this Halloween Apothecary.

Monster Cookie Recipe

· ½ cup room temp. Butter

· 1 1/4 cup Brown Sugar

· 3/4 cup Sugar

· 3 Eggs

· 1/8 cup (or 2 Tablespoons) Vanilla Extract

· 1 1/2 cups Creamy Peanut Butter

· 1 tsp Baking Soda

· 4 ½ cups Oatmeal (Quick or Old Fashioned)

(I usually put my Quick Oats in the blender to chop it up)

Optional Add-Ins:

Wilton Candy Eyeballs

Chocolate Chips (or other flavored chips)

M&M’s

Nuts

Raisins

Craisins

Directions:

In mixing bowl, combine butter and sugars until blended. Add eggs and vanilla. Beat until combined.
Add Peanut Butter and baking Soda and mix together.
Slowly add oatmeal. Blend in as much as you can with mixer and fold in the rest by hand along with your choice of Add-ins.
Drop onto greased baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes in a 350 degree oven until light brown.

Halloween Oreos—Mummy Treats

20 Comments

Do you need another ideas for some fun Halloween Snacks? Today I am sharing my newest version of Halloween Oreos today! This time, I decided to make some Mummy Treats. I actually have two more versions of these Halloween Oreos to share with you and those will be coming later this week. It has been all about the Double Stuft Oreos around here lately. Then I promise not to post any more…for a while that is.

Just like the others, these are pretty simple to make and don’t require anything special.

Just the following ingredients are needed:

Double Stuft Oreos

popsicle sticks {or sucker sticks}

white chocolate {melted}

mini chocolate chips

Simply place the sticks in between the two layers of cookie. Dip the Oreos into the melted chocolate. Instead of dipping, I tend to spoon it onto the Oreos paying close attention to completely covering where the cookie and the stick come together. This will ensure the cookies stay together and don’t fall off of the stick.

Lay the completely chocolate covered Oreos onto some wax paper and add some mini chocolate chips for the eyes. I will sometimes cut the pointy tip off of the mini chocolate chips with my kitchen shears so that the eye will lay flat on the Oreos.

Let them harden by popping them into the freezer for a few minutes. While they are firming up, fill a small plastic baggy with some melted chocolate and cut the end of one of the bottom corners of the bag off. Use the bag to pipe thin lines of chocolate over the mummy to give him some three dimensional bandage wraps.

Pop them back into the freezer until ready to serve or package up for a fun little treat.

Share with your friends or add them to your party table for your guests to enjoy.

Rice Krispie Bar—Halloween Ghosts

33 Comments

Do you still need a quick and easy Halloween treat for a classroom party or to give out to your friends and family? Whip up some of these super easy and super adorable Rice Krispie Bar Treats in the shapes of Halloween Ghosts. A fun and easy twist on the ever popular Rice Krispie Treats. And…it’s on a stick!! You know how much I love that!

Now, I wish I could take credit for these cute treats…but I can’t. My super creative neighbor (you know who you are Smile ) is my daughter’s church activity day leader and she made these for a fun Father and Daughter Halloween Party earlier this week. Luckily I have trained my family well enough to know they can NOT eat the treats until mom gets a picture of it…sad but true!

To make them you will just need to whip up a batch of Rice Krispie Treats. The recipe is on the back of the box of Rice Krispies. Or you can find the original recipe for Rice Krispie Treats on Rice Krispies.com. Spread them out into a jelly roll pan so they are fairly flat. You will also be able to get more ghosts this way. Take a cookie cutter shaped like a tombstone and cut out the ghosts as close to one another as possible when the Rice Krispies have cooled a bit but are not hard. Transfer each ghost to wax paper and insert a sucker stick into the bottom of the ghost. Let them fully harden.

Then dip the tops of each ghost into some melted white chocolate or almond bark and add a couple of mini chocolate chips for the eyes. Let the chocolate harden before wrapping up or serving. Aren’t they so much fun? Go ahead and make some for yourself. I think I found the perfect treat to take to my son’s class for his birthday treat next week!

Thanks H!!
