Jolina
Thanks Elizabeth! My friends would sometimes bring in leftover Halloween candy from their kids’ loot in the spring they got so many they don’t know what to do with them lol! Hope these recipes help with that!
Natanja
This is a genious idea! I love the multiple and creative ways for using up leftover candy.
I never know how much candy to stock up on before Halloween…which reminds me that I didn’t buy any yet! Oops better run to the store before our door gets egged!
Jolina
You still have time Natanja! ๐ Have a fun Halloween!
Eugenia

Liz Mays
Yum! I’m really liking the Snickers Cheesecake recipe and the Caramel Apple Crumble Bars sound good too. I have such a sweet tooth!
Jolina

Dawn
Whoa! All of this looks so good and I think I may be in a sugar coma right now ๐ We bought some Halloween stuff a couple weeks ago and you know that I’ve already dug into it. I think ‘I better buy extra just in case there’s lots of kids,’ but really, deep down, I’m accounting for that fact that I’ll probably eat half of it before Halloween even gets here,,,especially if it is potato chips, lol!!
Jolina
LOL you’re so funny Dawn. I really wish we were neighbours! We live in a condo so no trick or treaters but hey, never stopped us from buying candy (or potato chips haha). Hope you find a recipe you like! Lots of awesome ones here eh? Sugar coma here we come. Happy Halloween!
Michele
I don’t have kids either but always pick up a couple of bags in case anyone shows up at my door! Usually no one does and I am left to eat all that delicious leftover candy! Some of those recipes up there sound good and I might buy a few extra bags to try one or two of them out!
Jolina
LOL we’re the same Michele! We live in a condo so trick or treating is not allowed but we get a box (okay, 2 boxes) of candy anyway haha. Would love to hear what recipe you chose. Happy Halloween!
Samantha Reveley
