Pumpkin kissed brownie surprise cookies

October 29, 2012 by Roxana 16 Comments

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!

    It's so difficult lately to find Hershey Pumpkin Kisses...I think the food blogging community may be behind their disappearance. :D I love these cookies! Who can resist chocolate and pumpkin?!

    It's probably good that Halloween isn't a very big thing here. Last year we had one kid knock at our door. I was ready! These cookies look really good.

    I don't really celebrate Halloween either. I just can't see spending all of that money on a costume; however, I do like candy and tend to buy more than I need during the season. Hey, you only live once, so I'm going to enjoy candy while I can. I can see why you couldn't get these out of your head; they look amazing. I must make these. Yum!

    I have been intrigued by these pumpkin Hershey's since your first mentioned them. Well, a friend at work just gave me a sample and gosh, they're good! Sharing with her the goodies you've made with them. Yum and yum!

    I discovered the pumpkin kisses in early October, but why not have thesa in November also when pumpkin is still for Thanksgiving also. I'm very dissapointed!
