• In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix together the cake mix, brown sugar, butter, peanut butter, milk, egg, and vanilla on medium speed until fully combined.
• Stir in the oats, M&Ms, and chocolate chips just until combined.
• Use a medium cookie scoop, drop balls of dough 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
• Add sprinkles to the tops of the cookie dough balls, gently pressing them into the dough.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°. Prepare cookie sheets by lining with parchment paper, silpat liner, or spray lightly with cooking spray. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking soda, and salt.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and combined well. About 1-2 minutes. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract. Blend until combined.
• Mix the oat mixture into the butter mix, on low speed, and gradually increase the speed as needed just until everything is combined well. Add in the halloween m&m's and blend until combined.
• Take about 2 tablespoons of dough (I use a cookie scoop for this) and roll it into a ball. When done, the dough balls will look like golf balls. Place 12 dough balls onto the cookie sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes. *Don't overbake these! They will continue cooking as they cool on the cookie sheet. The cookies should look puffy and not look wet.
• Immediately, gently press a few additional m&m's on top of each cookie and two candy eyeballs.
• Move the cookie to a cooling rack to cool completely. Store leftovers in a covered container out at room temperature. Leftovers are really good heated in the microwave for a few seconds.
