This no-bake cookie recipe is a family favourite. I make it at Easter and add mini eggs, and at Christmas I make them and call them "reindeer poop". Today, I'm sharing my Halloween version. You are going to LOVE these simple and delicious Halloween cookies.
The recipe is at the end of this post, but you might want to check out this quick step-by-step video first.
To make these Halloween monster cookies:
1) Mix together the following dry ingredients, and set aside:
3 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
1/4 tsp salt
2) Put the following ingredients in a saucepan, and bring to a boil:
2 cups white sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
3) Remove from heat, and stir in dry ingredients.
4) Before the mixture starts to dry out, drop the mixture from heaping teaspoons onto wax paper, and add candy eyes to each cookie. Allow to cool completely.
They look adorable on a plain, white tray.
But I put mine on the tray I made in the video here.
You really should make this cookies. I guarantee you are going to think they are SPOOK-tacular. :-)

Finish by inserting a pencil or small toy. Cute, right?!?! (Note: I used a dollar store tablecloth as a backdrop for the pictures.)
13) Graham cracker bandaids - Cut a graham cracker in half, add white icing, and finish with a smear of red gel icing. These bandaid cookies would be adorable to serve to family and friends.
14) Vampire donuts - Take store bought donuts up a notch. Use icing as glue to attach candy eyes, and insert dollar store vampire teeth into the centre of the donut. Serving a tray of these at a Halloween party is guaranteed to impress.
15) Halloween bark - These treat looks impressive, but it's super-simple to make. Melt white baking chocolate according the package directions, spread it out over a piece of wax paper, and top it with whatever candy pieces you have on hand. Allow it to cool, break it in pieces, and serve it to family and friends. Easy peasy!
