Halloween is traditionally a time for sweet treats – candy coated bliss – or simply, CANDY.
The overly sweet succor of commercial candy isn’t for everyone.
And, with the COVID crisis, is Trick-or-Treating canceled?

Who knows?

Regardless, you need these Halloween Maple Almond Butter Peanut M&M Cookies in your life.
Relax – kick back – skip the costume party (or bring these with you), and pour a giant glass of milk. Feel free to double dip or dunk.

Fold in the M&Ms.
