Soft with a rich chocolate taste just like a brownie should be and a melted candy baked inside, these pumpkin kissed brownie surprise cookies are a family favorite
Halloween is probably my least favorite holiday. Maybe because I’m now a big fan of spider webs or maybe because I was born in Dracula’s country (not too far from his castle).
The only part i like about Halloween is the candy.
On a regular basis if I buy more than 2-3 bags of candy at a time the cashier rise her eyebrow while scanning, starting mid September till actual Halloween day I can buy as many bags of candy as I like and she tells me “kids love candy”
If only she knew none of those 10 bags of candy I just bought are for kids.
I mean, c’mon, you can never have too many Hershey’s kisses, especially the seasonal ones which one day are all over the store the next day there are nowhere to be found.
Two weeks I’ve checked my grocery store and they were out of the Pumpkin Spice kisses, of course I had to stock up when I found some more!
Last week, while putting together the 100 chocolate recipe list I stumbled upon lots of brownie cookies and there were kinda hard to take them out of my head.
I wanted brownie cookies but in the same time I wanted to use some of the candy.
Decisions, decisions.
Until it hit me, I can hide a candy inside the cookie dough.
It’s not like I’m inventing the wheel or something, others have done it before.
So why can’t I do it too? Of course I can!
I’ve made these cookie over the weekend and there are all gone, some of them were gone before I even had the chance to take some pictures. (No wonder I don’t blog about dinner meals, my family has sticky fingers).
The cookies are soft with a rich chocolate taste just like a brownie should be and when you bite into it you can a little bit of the melted candy, mmm, now this is what I’m talking about!
