It’s October! If you are looking for a fun, easy halloween treat that will delight both kids and adults, you’ve come to the right place!

I am not one for slaving over painstaking details to make a holiday themed dessert. But sprinkles I can do! This is a simple recipe that’s fun to make – and they taste amazing!

My youngest two boys helped me make these, and when the older three got home from school, their jaws dropped!

I don’t think I’ve ever met a child who could resist a sprinkle cookie!

I made some without the chocolate centers because I have one child who doesn’t really like chocolate…I’m not sure if he’s actually mine!

When my daughter tried a bite, she smiled so big – “It’s peanut butter!!!” Oh yes. Next level sprinkle cookies here.

The addition of peanut butter makes these 10x better than the traditional sprinkle cookie recipes. That paired with the chocolate center?? Best flavor combo ever! I can never resist a chocolate peanut butter dessert.

These would be so fun for a Halloween party for kids or adults! Everyone loves these!

    Do you think you can make these without peanut butter and keep the recipe the same?

      If you leave out the peanut butter just add another 4 TBS of butter 🙂

        I ended up keeping the peanut butter in there in hopes it wasn’t too peanut buttery for me. It wasn’t! I used all my Halloween sprinkles, including non perils and sugar sprinkles and they were delicious! I only put sprinkles on the top of the cookies to save sprinkles and there’s no need to cover the bottom. I placed a Hershey star on top of half and a Halloween colored non peril chocolate on the other half. Both were great!

    I rarely make recipes that don’t have a bunch of reviews, but these are so cute. And delicious. They turned out great. I will definitely make them again. I went a little heavy with the nonpareils. I liked the look of the sprinkled ones better.
