Ingredients
Scale
Base Layer
- 16 ounces Ready to Bake refrigerated chocolate chip cookies
Layered Toppings
- 16 Halloween Oreos, chopped and divided
- 1 cup chocolate chunks, divided
- 1 cup Halloween M&Ms, divided
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup Reese’s Pieces
- ½ cup candy corn
- ¼ cup Halloween Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
- Press Cookie Dough: Press the refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the base layer.
- Bake Base Layer: Bake the cookie dough base for 15 minutes until it is partially cooked and slightly firm.
- Add First Toppings Layer: After baking, evenly sprinkle half of the chopped Halloween Oreos, chocolate chunks, and M&M’s over the warm cookie layer to begin building the magic layers.
- Pour Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the cookie and candy layer. It does not need to cover completely but should be distributed as evenly as possible.
- Add Remaining Toppings: Layer the rest of the chopped Oreos, chocolate chunks, and M&M’s on top, followed by a layer of Reese’s Pieces for extra candy goodness.
- Final Bake: Bake the assembled bars for an additional 25 to 30 minutes. The condensed milk will start to develop a caramel color, signaling that the bars are done.
- Cool and Decorate: Remove from the oven and immediately top with candy corn and Halloween sprinkles (if using). Allow the bars to cool in the pan for at least 2 hours so they set properly before slicing.
- Serve and Store: Once cooled and sliced, the bars can be kept at room temperature for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Feel free to experiment with different candies and cookie types to customize your bars, such as Butterfinger, Kit Kats, or crushed Biscoff cookies.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips on top after baking if you prefer them less melted and more distinct.
- Crushed pretzels, chopped nuts, or flaked coconut make great additions for texture and flavor variety.
- Make sure to allow the bars to cool fully before slicing to get clean cuts.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
