Halloween Candy Cookie Bars

The best way to use leftover Halloween candy - chewy, buttery cookie bars loaded with your favourite candy bars
Cook Time30 minutes
Course: Dessert

Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup assorted candy bars, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment and set it aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Set it aside.
  • Beat the butter and brown sugar in a separate bowl. Add the egg and vanilla, and beat until the batter is light and fluffy. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just mixed and no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix the batter. Gently fold in the chopped candy bars.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let the cookie bars cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack and let them cool completely before cutting them into squares. Enjoy!
