The best ideas leftover Halloween candy cookies and bars
It’s days from Halloween, so you’ll soon need some ideas for getting rid of your extra candy; so how about trying one of these leftover Halloween candy cookies and bars recipes.
I’ve been thinking about this perennial problem of leftover Halloween candy for years now. I say it’s a problem because I hate finding little wrappers in strange places in my house. It’s also not nice to have these tiny bars squirreled away in stashes around my house. Once discovered, they’re a constant source of temptation for me in a time of year when there’s already plenty to eat. Having a set of recipes that uses up the candy in one fell swoop solves a lot of problems all at once.
As such, We’ve made Monster Cookies a tradition in our house. While they’re our #1 choice for using up tons of extra candy, they’re far from the only solution.
I’ve tried to think of some of the most popular candy here, so you get some real ideas of how to use this chocolate in recipes. Do know that you can mix up things too; a Mr. Goodbar is going to go well in a recipe for Snickers since they share a lot of core flavors. Hopefully you get some real ideas, so that you too will not be finding wrappers in air vents for the next several months!
