Are you looking for a fun treat for your Halloween themed party? Or maybe just a little something sweet to tuck into the kids’ lunches as a little surprise? This Halloween Edible Cookie Dough recipe is just what you are looking for! Serve in fun little cups with mini spoons and you’ve got a crowd pleaser for sure…or in a tupperware container for a not so spooky but festive surprise in a lunchbox!
The cocoa powder helps to give the cookie dough recipe a darker base so that the black food color actually gives the dough a black color. A lighter base dough is going to just become grey, grey and more grey. Kind of like frosting, only this is more fun!
