I am a sucker for easy holiday treats, especially easy to make ones! With a pack of teenage boys in the house I am not too sure that they appreciate how darling these look, but I do know that they are quite happy to eat them.

Were they still in elementary school I would totally make these cookie bars for them to take and share with classmates. I miss the days of volunteering in their classroom and helping with Halloween parties and events at school!
