If you are reading this, the thought of that big bowl of leftover sweets is probably haunting you.
Give those treats new life by trying a few of these tasty ideas and whipping up some magical recipes to share with loved ones.
Add leftover Halloween candy to your baking
Chocolate and sweets work great in many dessert recipes. You can chop up any kind of candy – especially if it is chocolate or caramel-based – and add it to basic cookie dough, fudge or brownie batter.
Or you can crush hard candy or peppermints and use them as toppings to decorate cupcakes, cheesecake or cookies.
Save it for Christmas pies
Saving your confectionery to make a sweet tart or incorporating it into Christmas desserts is a great use for your leftovers.
Freeze it
Divide your leftover Halloween treats into small portions, pack in airtight containers and pop them in the freezer where they will stay fresh for months.
This way, you can take out what you need to add to smoothies or yoghurt, or use as toppings for baked goods. Make yummy milkshakes by adding chopped-up chocolate bars to ice cream or frozen yoghurt, along with a banana or some berries.
Loaded popcorn
This is another easy one and your family will love it. Make some popcorn, drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle in chopped-up sweets or chocolate.
Or just eat it
Let's be honest, you have already eaten a massive amount of candy at this point, so why quit? This one of the few times of the year that it's socially acceptable to eat chocolate bar after chocolate bar so you might as well take advantage of it while you can.
