Who doesn’t love chocolate chip cookies? Of course, I do. I also love making candy and bark-type recipes for the holidays. I wondered, why not combine the two into something wonderful for Halloween? This Chocolate Chip Cookie Bark is fantastic. You don’t even need a mixer. It has just the basic cookie ingredients, mini chocolate chips and Reese’s Pieces. I will be making this recipe for my “Halloween Treat” cooking segment this week on Nashvillle’s top ranked talk show, NewsChannel 5 “Talk of the Town” on Thursday, October 28th along with 2 other creative Halloween treats. I will try to post the TV link when I get it. Happy Halloween week! Alison

I am making these with the kids tomorrow for our school party. Your recipes are my favorite. They always come out to perfection
Have a great time on Nashville! That is the best station by far
My Mom used to do this. She would take her basic chocolate chip recipe and press it into a 9×13″ pan and bake and then cut it into squares. I once asked her why she make the cookies into bars rather than traditional round cookies. She replied that it was faster cooking ’em all in one batch and there was only one pan to clean up rather than several cookie sheets.
This brings back a fond ol’ memory for me. Thanks.
