Halloween Candy Shortbread
Well you can't really go wrong with shortbread, in my book. And when you combine shortbread with a topping of chocolate chips and leftover chopped-up Halloween candy? A winner.
This recipe comes from a back issue of Everyday Food magazine. I think that Martha Stewart is really gonna make something of herself.
The only change I made to the Candy Bar Shortbread recipe is on the salt. Since I used salted butter rather than the recommended unsalted, I cut the coarse salt from 1 1/4 t. down to 1/2 t. Oh, I also didn't use an electric mixer, just smushed the shortbread up with my handy dandy pastry blender, then, when it got down to it, used my fingers. This would be a fun project for the kids among us. You know who you are.
Reese's mini peanut butter cups, by the way, make a very fine topping.

Now that looks good. My daughter got a bunch of chocolate candy this year so this might be a possible dessert at our house :)
Well not if I can help it. I would just soon use them up in a recipe like this. Are you having a lovely fall so far?
I am glad the leaves are starting to change. Though, it will be December before the cottonwoods in my pasture turn to gold.
I cracked up, yes, I think that Martha Stewart is going to be something someday. :)
this looks delicious!!
