Repurposing Leftover Halloween Candy

Now that Halloween is over you might have some extra candy just lying around. According to http://www.dailypress.com/news/dp-toptenlist.o27-story.html  the top ten candies for Halloween include snickers, nerds, tootsie rolls, life savers, M&Ms, Reese’s, Twizzlers, Butterfingers, Skittles, and Candy Corn. Why not make fun treats out of the leftovers you might have? You can invite some friends over to help or make them yourself!

One of my favorite types of cake is Snickers Cake. This cake can also be made with Heath bars, Reese’s peanut butter cups, Whoppers, or just about any candy bar. It takes a box of devil’s food cake, caramel sauce, whipped topping (like Cool Whip), and of course your candy bar of choice. This cake is so good I guarantee you won’t want to share it with anyone.

A great way to get rid of that leftover candy corn is by topping off some pumpkin bars with them. It adds a cute touch to a delicious fall dessert. You can also do this with the candy corn pumpkins; I think they would make more sense on the pumpkin bars than the candy corn would.  

What could be better than Reese’s peanut butter cup bark?! If you are a Reese’s peanut butter cup fan and a chocolate-lover than this recipe will be right up your alley. This fun snack is great for any time of year and any occasion! Unless that occasion is a picnic on a hot, summer day, than you’re peanut butter cup bark might turn to peanut butter chocolate goo. All this recipe takes is chocolate candy coating, Reese’s, peanuts, and shortening (if needed). If this were my recipe I would just leave the peanuts out because I’m not a big fan but, this recipe calls for them because the bark needs an extra crunch for texture.

Butterfinger pie… if you don’t have a sweet tooth this will give you one! It just sounds good. I mean who would turn down pie that has candy bars in it? Better yet, this recipe requires no baking at all! So it’s actually pretty easy to make. All you need is cream cheese, Cool Whip, graham cracker crust, and of course a bag of Butterfinger candy bars. Everyone will love this dessert, if you leave any for them! To see the rest of the recipe click here: http://www.itisakeeper.com/4535/butterfinger-pie-easy-dessert-recipes/.
