The ultimate guide to Leftover Halloween Candy Recipes! Whether you want classics like candy cookies or something unique like snickers salad, we’ve got you covered!
What to do with leftover halloween candy?
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Halloween candy, but sometimes there’s just too much to handle!
- Bake with it. Chop up a variety of candies and stir them to your favorite brownie batter or cookie dough, or sprinkle them onto melted chocolate to create candy bark. If sweet and salty is your thing, mix leftover candy with nuts, pretzels, dried fruit, popcorn, etc. to make homemade trail mix.
- Freeze. Stocking stuffer anyone?! The kids will never know as long as the wrappers are generic and not Halloween themed.
- Donate It. Here’s a guide on How to Donate Leftover Candy.
