What I Do With the Halloween Candy Nobody Came For

Hey Reader,

Every year I'm convinced we'll get more trick-or-treaters than we actually do, and every year I'm wrong. So now there's a bowl of leftover candy on my counter, and I have no business eating it all.

At least I didn't eat the entire bag before Halloween, right?

Instead, I bake it into something else and hand it off to my friends and family. They have no idea they're doing me a favor.

Where My Leftover Candy Goes Instead

Chop up any leftover candy bars and stir them into the Edible Candy Bar Cookie Dough. It's eggless, so you can eat it straight off the spoon.

Each of these Candy Stuffed Cookies hides a piece of candy in the middle, and they're so fun. Whoever gets one doesn't know what's inside until they bite in.

If Snickers are all that's left in your bowl, turn them into Snickers Popcorn. Who can resist caramel popcorn with a chocolate drizzle and chopped Snickers mixed in? Split it into bags, and you've got something no one can turn down.

Can't decide between cookies and brownies? Candy Cookie Brownies are both, and once the candy's gone, I make them with chocolate chips instead.

Start with the Candy Stuffed Cookies if your bowl is a mix of everything, since pretty much any candy bar or snacking chocolate works. Who's getting your leftovers this year?
