Too much leftover halloween candy?
Filed in archive Recipes on October 26, 2005

One thing you can always count on after Halloween is having too much leftover candy. The kids shouldn't eat it all so that leaves the rest for us adults, right? Well, not if you're watching your diet or waistline. Nobody wants to throw out perfectly good Butterfinger Bars or M&Ms though, so what do you do? Here are some great ideas that you can use this year:
- Recipe*zaar has dozens of yummy ideas from Sushi for Kids to harry potter Delight
- Keep Kids Healthy suggests donating your leftovers to a food bank or freezing some for an unexpected treat a few weeks later
- Frugal Finesse suggests having a visit from the Great Pumpkin
- 7 year old Cub Scout Alex Bowman uses his leftovers to make S'Mores
- A thread on the message boards at Cooking Light has a recipe for Candy Bar Tarts that sounds irresistible
- Preschooler Today suggests inviting over some friends for a scavenger hunt and letting the guests take home the loot
- That's My Home lists loads of recipes for cookies, pies, cheesecakes and even salads that use up all that leftover candy.
Every year I promise myself that I'll do something with all the extra candy my three children accumulate but I always seem to end up eating more than I planned. This year, I'll use some of these delicious recipes and...well, maybe eat that instead.

Sounds terrific! I'm planning to have a baby shower soon and I'm thinking of giving something new for my guests. Well, I think this candy recipe thing surely is ok. Thanks a lot.
