If you have leftover Halloween candy, there are several things you can do with it instead of just eating it plain. Here are some ideas:
-
Stir it into ice cream: Chop up your chocolate bars, peanut butter candy, or Twix bars, and fold it into softened ice cream. Store it in a lidded plastic container or a loaf pan and re-freeze.
-
Donate it to a good cause: Consider donating your extra candy to a food pantry, homeless shelter, nursing home, or organization that distributes candy to troops.
-
Make desserts and treats: Turn your candy into desserts and treats for the holidays that come after Halloween. For example, you can turn candy corn and M&Ms into adorable turkey cupcakes or Oreo turkeys, or make gingerbread houses and ugly sweater sheet cake. You can also turn chocolate Halloween candies like Reeseās, Twix, Snickers, and Butterfingers into other desserts like cheesecakes, cookies, brownies, and bars.
-
Use it for baking: Use your candy in baking recipes, such as M&M cookie bars, smores skillet cookie, Snickers cheesecake, and monster cookies.
-
Save it for later: Store your leftover candy in an airtight container or freezer bag and save it for later. You can use it for baking, decorating cakes and cupcakes, or as a topping for ice cream.
Remember that you can also give away your leftover candy to friends, family, or coworkers who might enjoy it.
