  5. Stir in most of the m&m’s except what you are adding on top, along with the chocolate chips to the cookie batter
  6. Turn batter out into prepared pie dish, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
  7. Add your candies into the batter, pushing them down level with the dough, then add the remaining M&M’s to the top of the batter as well.
  8. Bake for about 25 to 28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. If you prefer a more well-done cookie pie, bake a few minutes longer.

What To Do With Leftover Candy

Candy Options

  • We used peanut butter cups, m&m’s, and speckled chocolate covered almonds and some glorious caramel truffles.  We added an assortment of white, dark and milk chocolate chips to hit all the chocolates.  YEAH!  
  • There are some candies you might not want to use, like jellies or really, really soft candies that melt easily and may not do your pie justice, with the exception of caramel.  Those types of candies, you might want to be considered on the top. 
  • Marshmallow is ok to use, but it does disappear into the cookie cake. But if you were thinking peeps or something like that, save those for afterwards for decorating as well. 

Frosting Options

  • You can make a simple buttercream frosting and make it whatever color strikes the mood!  I used a Deep Pink and got this gorgeous color.  I added ingredients how to make in the recipe below, but you could also substitute and purchase frosting in a tub, and add your own color gel.
  • Or buy a flavored one, like strawberry, chocolate or cream cheese or even funfetti frosting could be a choice!

  1. Last Friday, I made kitchen sink cookies for the first time and now this !!!!!!!!!!! Another week end project, indeed !!!!

  2. Oh what a festive, delicious, and colourful pie – positive vibes overload! The only one problem is that we rarely have the candy excess…well, I guess this means we’ll need to buy even more candy next time haha.

  3. Goodness, this candy cookie cake looks irresistibly delicious!! As usual I want to make it all for myself and share with no one, it’s just too tempting!
