Halloween Cookies Kids LOVE!
What Halloween homemade treat can be better than orange and black? Bar cookies are easier to make in one pan and you don’t have to stand in the kitchen making cookies. Use dark chocolate chips for better health and rich chocolate contrast in flavor to the sweet orange cream cheese filling! You sometimes can find orange food coloring, but if not, just use red and yellow. For a switch, you can also use a Devil’s Food cake mix for a chocolate bottom. I have done that too so have fun with the recipe. If you’re scared of cooking, this recipe will cure that fear!! Boo!!! Check out these other fun easy Halloween recipes.
