Ok, this is my last Halloween related recipe. Promise.
Seriously it is. I already have a Thanksgiving post lined up! Anyone one else getting ready for the holidays? Or am I the only crazy exited holiday freak out there? In my defense there is a lot of people in my family which means lots of food!
I actually was not even planning on posting these little guys, but they just turned out so cute that I had to share!ย I had leftover candy eyes and black candy rope from myย Black Brownie Spidersย so throwing these together was no big deal. They are going to be the perfect treat for the Tricks for Treat rail jam my little brother is competing in today!
Yummy peanut butter cookies topped with a Reese!
You have to work fast once the cookies come out of the oven and gently push each mini Reese into the middle of the cookie so it sinks and begins to melt a little into the cookie itself. Then let them cool off a little and just attach the legs and eyes using some melted chocolate.
Very easy, really fun, and really goood!
