Peanut Butter Cookie Pops can also be made before the holiday and can be wrapped and tied with ribbon to be used as favors at parties, or displayed on the annual Halloween BOO-ffet table. Its a good idea to double or triple the recipe to make sure there are enough, since everyone will want to sample at least one. Kids love them because they are baked on a stick; adults love them because they taste good.

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
