When you have three kids, multiple Halloween parties to attend and an all-nighter filled with trick-or-treating, the piles of sweet treats do just that. Pile up! So, after I do my duty of safety checking and separating the piles of ‘you eat that,’ ‘I eat this,’ and our sweet tooth’s have been satisfied until next year, there is still lots of candy! I ask myself, what to do with it all? Repurpose it of course! With a little culinary creativity, you can easy use all of that leftover Halloween candy to make something delicious!
