Oh my M&M’s! I brought home quite the bounty of Halloween candy. Not only was my
Frankenstein costume a hit, but our whole group was a monstrous
spectacle. We had so much fun!
But there’s no way
I can – or should – eat all of this candy.
I’ve sorted it and
counted it, and exchanged my Tootsie Rolls for my sister’s licorice. My Mom
threw out anything that wasn’t wrapped properly, or looked suspicious. And I
gave Dad all of my Snickers bars.
That still leaves
WAY too much candy.
I can’t just throw
it away. So I did some research for ideas on WHAT to do with all of the
leftover candy. Here are five ideas that
I’ve found – beyond sharing soft candies with the seniors at the seniors’
lodge, or adding to our food bank gifts, of course:
- Freeze the chocolate bars. That way, they won’t go bad, and I can ration them out. Mom says I can use the big freezer.
- Save the hard candies for Gingerbread houses. Those kits never give you enough candy.
- Candy art! Check out this fun mosaic: http://www.ehow.com/how_12073706_make-mosaic-candy.html
- Make homemade trail mix by mixing in the M&Ms or Smarties with nuts, granola and dried fruit like raisins. A perfect snack for me at practice!
- Baking projects. Mom says the peanut butter cups are perfect for brownies, cookies or muffins.
Hope I gave you
some good ideas…
