Equipment

  • 8 x 8 pan
  • aluminum foil
  • nonstick spray

Ingredients

  • 16 oz. pkg. Pillsbury Ready To Bake Chocolate Chunk & Chip Cookies
  • ½ cup miniature marshmallows
  • 25 to 30 mini pretzel twists enough to cover marshmallow layer
  • ½ cup Nestle Toll House Halloween Semi-Sweet Chocolate and Orange Colored Morsels or semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 8-inch square pan with foil, extending foil over 2 opposite sides of pan.
  • Spray foil with nonstick spray.
  • Place cookie dough in bottom of pan. Press dough with fingers to flatten and cover bottom of pan in even layer.
  • Bake 14 - 18 minutes or just until center is set.
  • Sprinkle marshmallows over partially baked crust.
  • Arrange pretzels over marshmallows in 5 or 6 rows of 5 pretzels each.
  • Sprinkle chocolate chips over top.
  • Return to oven; bake an additional 5 minutes or until marshmallows are melted.
  • Allow bars to cool in pan then refrigerate for a couple of hours for easier cutting of marshmallow layer.
  • Lift bars from pan by using foil overhang; place on cutting board.
  • Cut bars to desired size and store in airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days.

Notes

  • I found the Halloween Limited Edition morsels at Target, if you can’t find them, substitute regular semi-sweet morsels. You can always add some Halloween sprinkles if you want to add some seasonal color to dress your twisted treats.
  • Spray your knife with nonstick spray before cutting the bars to prevent the gooey marshmallows from sticking to it.
