All That Candy! What To Do With Leftover Halloween Candy

Sarah Cole

3 days before Halloween I came across something in my son’s room that I couldn’t help but find disturbing: a piece Easter candy.

It seems like after most of these candy holidays, Valentine’s Day, Easter and of course, Halloween, we end up with a bunch of extra stuff left over, the stuff we don’t like or just can’t stomach eating any more of. In our house, this left over candy goes with my husband who is a teacher and we know it will be swiftly taken care of. But for those of you who don’t regularly have access to hungry high schoolers here’s a few ideas on how to use those leftover sweets: bake with it, play with it, and make an advent calendar with it… check out these ideas below:

Bake with it
