I love Halloween. Not only does it give me a great excuse to spend even more time on the sofa, peeking out from the safety of my blanket while watching scary movies, but it also means I get to eat Halloween Candy.

Halloween candy is pretty hard (impossible!) to resist. The concierge desk awaits me upon my return home with a bucketful of Halloween candy, pay a visit to the doctor and you’re greeted with Halloween candy, walk into any self-respecting home and you’re offered more Halloween candy – so surely it would be rude, I mean almost offensive, not to take a piece?

Halloween candy is a serious matter in the USA with bite-sized, individually wrapped pieces of your favourite candy bars sold in bumper packs. The bottom drawer of our fridge is annually dedicated to this holiday phenomenon – nom nom nom. But what to do when you get sick of eating all this candy – I am yet to experience this feeling myself – make Halloween Cookies, of course!

These cookies are perfect for the busy Halloween holiday as they need only four ingredients, take minutes to prepare, and are No-Bake Cookies – so get the kids into the kitchen and get them “cooking” for a change!

I use Pumpkin Butter to keep these cookies in the Halloween spirit. If you don’t have, or can’t find, any Pumpkin Butter it is incredibly easy to make – take a look at my Recipe for Home-Made Pumpkin Butter to get the know-how. However, if pumpkin isn’t your thang you can easily substitute it with your fave nut butter – delicious!

So as you can see from the video this recipe is ridiculously easy to follow. Simply throw the ingredients into a bowl (setting aside some of the M&M’s for decoration), mix together thoroughly, cover and chill in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Once chilled, divide the mixture into bite-sized balls, flatten into cookie shapes, decorate with the M&M’s and devour!!!
