For me, October is the beginning of the crazy holiday season.  First comes Halloween, then Thanksgiving and then December is just jam packed with holiday celebrations.  This time of year is when I love to craft and create with the kids and also entertain guests.  With Halloween fast approaching, I felt it was only appropriate to create a fun Halloween treat for us to enjoy.

 

To create this delicious masterpiece, you will need:

Ingredients
– 1 tube of sugar cookie dough
– 1 apple diced
– 1/3 c creamy peanut butter
– 15-20 pretzel twists
– 1 bag of M&M’s
– 1 bag of candy corn
– 1 cup of white chocolate chips
– 3 tbsp orange frosting
– 3 tbsp black frosting

Directions:

1. Roll out cookie dough on a pizza pan, pizza stone or other pan of choice. (I used a greased pizza stone).

2. Bake cookie dough at 350* for 12-15 minutes and remove from over.

3. While cookie is baking, mix the diced apples with the peanut butter until it is mixed well.

4. After removing cookie from oven, spread apple peanut butter mixture onto cookie allowing it to melt and spread easier this becomes the glue for the goodies!).

5. Once apple peanut butter mixture is on, place pretzels, candy corn and M&M’s however you would like on the cookie.

6. Take your 3 tbsp of orange frosting and place it in a ziploc bag, cut a small hole in the corner and pipe frosting on in desired pattern. Repeat this step with the black frosting.

7. After frosting is on, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave following instructions on the back of the package. Once melted, place white chocolate in a ziploc bag, cut a small hole in the corner and pipe chocolate on in the desired pattern.

8. Allow the cookie to cool and frosting/chocolate to harden and then cut and serve!

Enjoy!!

Everyone in our house really enjoyed this treat and the kids are already asking me to make it again!
