Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 16 ounces Ready to Bake refrigerated chocolate chip cookies

First Candy Layer

  • 8 Halloween Oreos, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chunks
  • 1/2 cup Halloween M&Ms

Sweetened Condensed Milk

  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk

Second Candy Layer

  • 8 Halloween Oreos, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chunks
  • 1/2 cup Halloween M&Ms
  • 1/4 cup Reese’s Pieces

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup candy corn
  • 1/4 cup Halloween sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
  2. Form the base layer: Press the refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan, making sure the layer is uniform to bake evenly.
  3. Bake the cookie base: Bake the cookie dough base for 15 minutes until partially set but not fully cooked. This will provide a sturdy foundation for the candy layers.
  4. Add first candy layer: After removing the pan from the oven, evenly sprinkle half of the chopped Halloween Oreos, chocolate chunks, and Halloween M&Ms over the warm cookie base.
  5. Pour sweetened condensed milk: Gently pour the sweetened condensed milk over the candy layer, trying to coat evenly but it does not need to cover all candies fully.
  6. Add second candy layer: Layer the remaining chopped Oreos, chocolate chunks, Halloween M&Ms, and Reese’s Pieces evenly over the condensed milk layer.
  7. Bake again: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 25 to 30 minutes. The condensed milk will start to caramelize and take on a golden color when done.
  8. Add toppings and cool: Remove the pan from the oven, immediately sprinkle the candy corn and Halloween sprinkles on top while warm, then let the bars cool in the pan for at least 2 hours to set properly.
  9. Serve: Once cooled, lift the bars out using the parchment paper, slice into 15 bars, and serve. Store at room temperature up to 4 days or freeze for extended storage.

Notes

  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze bars in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
  • You can substitute candies with other Halloween or favorite candies like crushed Butterfinger, Kit Kats, Heath Bars, or Reese’s Cups.
  • Try different cookie bases like crumbled Biscoff, graham crackers, or Golden Oreos for variation.
  • Consider using dark, milk, or white chocolate chips, or even peanut butter or caramel chips for different flavor profiles.
  • Optional add-ins include crushed pretzels, chopped nuts, or flaked coconut for extra texture.
