With Halloween being only 6 days away, I need to start thinking about making some treats for my son’s classroom Halloween Party. And being that I am the room mom, they need to be great! I was sent an awesome package of all types of Hershey’s Chocolates…now what to make with it?

I found several great ideas at Hershey’s Boo Blvd, a place where the company shares recipes, craft, and tips not only from their collection but from other bloggers for a frightfully fun Halloween!

The recipe I found to use for not only all the candy I received but something fun to make with all the incoming candy the boys are going to be getting for Halloween: Chocolate Bar Surprise Cookies Recipe (another variation would be to use brownies instead of cookies). That’s like two treats in one!

Chocolate Bar Surprise Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

Any combination chopped HERSHEY’S and REESE’S candy bars to make 2 cups
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup chopped nuts(optional)

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Remove wrappers from candies. Cut each candy into 1/2-inch pieces; set aside.
2. Stir together flour, baking soda, and salt. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla in large bowl with mixer until creamy. Add eggs; beat well. Gradually add flour mixture, beating well. Stir in candy pieces and nuts, if desired. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet.
3. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely. About 5 dozen cookies.

Another idea that I found for the classroom party is super simple, Mummy and Bat HERSHEY’S Milk Chocolate Bar Wrappers Craft. All you need is crepe paper, black construction paper, and googly eyes. I will be working on this project this weekend. My five year old will have fun helping me “mummify” the candy.
