These Peanut Butter Oatmeal Scotchie Cookies are perfect for the spooky Halloween holiday or for fall-inspired parties! Chewy, buttery and loaded with hearty oats and peanut butter with a festive candy corn topping!
It is so hard to believe that Halloween is quickly approaching! We’re already into fall, and as the leaves change colors and the temps cool down, it’s hard not to be excited by the upcoming holiday. That, and because the stores have had their Halloween candy and costumes out since September! (Don’t judge that I’ve already purchased – and ate – a couple bags of Halloween candy!)
Plus, since it’s fall, a lot of people (myself included) are more interested in baking again. Summer makes it so hard since it gets so warm, but crisp fall air begs for a home-cooked comfort food or a freshly baked cookie. But, since kids are in school during this time of year, you also want something that’s easy and quick to prepare since the days are shorter and we don’t always have a ton of time to slave in the kitchen.
Enter: these Peanut Butter Oatmeal Scotchie Cookies! They are perfect for Halloween and fall-weather feasts. Made with Krusteaz Oatmeal Scotchie Cookie Mix, they come together in seconds and have a fun spin: peanut butter & candy corn! The peanut butter mixed with the rich butterscotch is a match made in heaven. And did you know that when you combine candy corn and peanut butter, it tastes like those peanut butter wafer candies? It’s an unexpectedly amazing food combination.
So preheat the oven, grab the kids and bake up these delectable little Halloween-inspired cookies! Your kids may choose these over packaged candy!
