Halloween Cookie Bars

Happy Halloween!

Hello, Halloween lovers! I hope you’re ready for a spooktacular Halloween filled with sweet treats and festive fun. One of my favorite parts about Halloween is baking up delicious goodies that bring a little magic to the season. And since no Halloween would be complete without some homemade treats, I’ve got just the recipe for you—Jules’s famous Halloween Cookie Bars! These are a perfect blend of peanut butter goodness and Halloween candy, making them the ultimate crowd-pleaser.

Halloween in Ashland is always something special. The town comes alive with the sights and sounds of the season—ghosts and goblins roam the streets, and every shop is decked out in its spookiest decor. Jules and the Torte team love getting in on the action, and this year, they’re putting together treat bags and baking up a storm for the big costume parade on Main Street. Can you imagine the aroma of cookies and pastries wafting through the crisp autumn air? Pure bliss!

These Halloween Cookie Bars are a perfect way to use up any leftover Halloween candy—if that’s even a thing in your house! (It definitely isn’t in mine!) They’re quick, easy to bake, and so versatile. Whether you’ve got a house full of trick-or-treaters or just need something to munch on during a scary movie marathon, these bars will do the trick (or treat!).

So, preheat your oven, gather your ingredients, and get ready for some Halloween baking magic. And, if you’re anything like me, you might want to hide a few of these bars away for yourself—after all, bakers deserve treats too!

Wishing you a cozy, fun-filled Halloween, and of course, happy baking! Don’t forget to share your creations with me on social media—I’d love to see how your Halloween cookie bars turn out!
