30 Fun and Creative Ways to Use Leftover Halloween Candy
Searching for ways to get rid of your kid’s leftover Halloween candy? These tasty recipes are a great way to get rid of those tempting sweet treats.
I remember being so bummed the year my parents told me I was too old to go trick-or-treating. Since having kids, I’ve regained some of that nostalgia — including raiding both of my boys’ candy buckets after they’ve gone to bed.
Oh, come on. Don’t act like you don’t do it. I just spent the last three hours hiking from house to house. I deserve to put my aching feet up, have a glass of red wine and help myself to all of my kids’ Almond Joy candies.
But after a few weeks (i.e after I’ve eaten all the Almond Joys), I’m ready for the leftover Halloween candy to be gone. Who wants Halloween candy still lingering around at Thanksgiving? That’s why I decided to put together a list of recipe ideas to help you use up all the leftover Halloween candy once and for all.
