Description
Wondering what candy works best in Halloween candy mug cakes? This simple microwave treat turns leftover chocolates into a rich, gooey dessert in under 2 minutes.
Ingredients
1/2 cup chopped chocolate bars
1/4 cup whole milk
1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup chocolate candy, roughly chopped (Reese’s, Snickers, Kit Kat, etc.)
Instructions
1. In a microwave-safe mug, combine chopped chocolate bars and milk.
2. Microwave for 30 seconds until chocolate is melted.
3. Stir until smooth.
4. Add oil, flour, and baking powder. Mix until well combined.
5. Fold in the chopped Halloween candy.
6. Microwave on high for 1 minute.
7. Let cool for 2 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use soft, meltable Halloween candy like peanut butter cups, caramels, or milk chocolate bars.
Avoid hard candies or lollipops — they don’t melt well and can affect texture.
Every microwave is different — start with 1 minute and adjust as needed.
