These candy loaded oatmeal cookie bars are a favorite around our house! Our candy loaded cookie bars are super quick, just mix and dump into a pan, and bake! They’re super versatile and always turn out perfectly! I find myself making these right after Halloween or other holidays with all the leftover candy I have! But these are not limited to Halloween and are wonderful year-round.

Switch up your candy and Mix-ins!

For my candy loaded oatmeal cookies photographed here I used a mix of Reese’s peanut butter cups, Hershey’s milk chocolate with almonds, Snickers, and semisweet chocolate chips! But feel free to mix it up! I even sometimes make these with just chocolate chips if I don’t have any leftover candy lying around!

Ideas for mix-ins:

Reese’s
Snickers
M&Ms
Twix
Chocolate chips—white chocolate, peanut butter chips, dark chocolate, semisweet, butterscotch
Heath bar
Peanuts
Almonds

Don’t Like Coconut?

No problem! You can make these cookies bars strictly with oatmeal. Just replace your 2 cups of shredded coconut with an additional 1½ cups old-fashioned oats.

Also checkout our recipe for homemade butterfingers for another way to use some of your leftover Halloween candy!

Enjoy!
