Halloween Candy Cookie Skillet

By

What candy do you use for a Halloween skillet cookie? I like to use whatever my child brings home; however, I am strategic in the flavor pairings. I know my kids don’t like coconut so I don’t put any almond joys in the skillet. Nor do I put any peanut m&m’s for choking reasons. But honestly… the sky is the limit. Here is what I put in my cookie skillet.

Hershey Miniature Chocolate Bars
Kit Kat Bars
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
M&M’s
Milk Dud’s

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks salted butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup Dixie Crystals Sugar
  • 3/4 cup Dixie Crystals Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Adams Extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 2 cups chocolate Halloween candy, unwrapped and chopped
  • 1/2 cup m&m candies
  • 3 tablespoons Sweets & Treats Sweet Sprinkles Mix: Haunted House, divided

Preparation

Step 1


Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment; beat the room temperature butter, Dixie Crystals Granulated Sugar and Dixie Crystals Light Brown Sugar together for 1 minute on medium speed until creamy. Then add in the eggs, Adams Extract Clear Vanilla, and baking soda. Mix again for 3o seconds.

Add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, and mix on low for 20 seconds then medium speed for 40 seconds until well incorporated. Stop the mixer, add in the chocolate chips, chopped chocolate Halloween candy, m&m's and 2 tablespoons of the sprinkles. Mix on low for 10-15 seconds until just incorporated.

Grease a 9-inch cast-iron skillet with vegetable oil. Wipe it clean so it's just greased but not puddling. Then scoop the cookie batter into the skillet. Flatten with a silicone spatula and sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of sprinkles on top of the cookie.

Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown. Carefully, remove the skillet from the oven and let rest in skillet for 30 minutes. Cut into wedges, and serve.

Notes: *If you don't have a stand mixer, you can use a handheld mixer.

**You can use whatever chocolate Halloween candy you have on hand.
