I was at Target the other day (dangerous, I know!) and stumbled across the cutest Halloween containers , you know the kind that practically beg to be filled with something sweet? I instantly knew I needed to whip up a festive fall treat to match their cuteness.

And since it’s officially pumpkin spice season, what better excuse to grab the Betty Crocker Pumpkin Spice Cookie Mix? It’s quick, easy, and absolutely delicious. But of course, I had to take it up a notch. Cue the candy melts and Halloween sprinkles, because we’re all about those spooky vibes!

These treats turned out adorably cute and added a fun twist to a simple cookie. Want to make your own? Here’s how:

Materials:

• 1 package Betty Crocker Pumpkin Spice Cookie Mix
• 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
• 2 eggs
• 1 bag vanilla candy melts
• Themed Halloween sprinkles
• Festive containers + ribbon + gift tag (optional, but makes it extra special!)

How to make them:

1. Bake the cookies according to the package directions (usually 375°F for 10–12 minutes).
2. While the cookies are cooling, melt the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each round until smooth.
3. Once the cookies are completely cooled, dip half of each cookie into the melted candy.
4. Immediately dip the candy-coated part into a bowl of Halloween sprinkles.
5. Place the cookies on a parchment-lined tray to set. You can pop them in the fridge to speed it up!
6. Once set, place them in your festive containers, tie with ribbon, and don’t forget to add a cute gift tag.

These cookies are the perfect combo of fall flavor and Halloween fun. Ideal for gifting, parties, or a sweet surprise for a friend.
