The Ultimate Leftover Candy Recipe Collection!

 

Ah, what to do with all this leftover candy!? Once everyone’s gotten sick of eating candy on its own (who am I kidding?!). Has that ever happened? There’s no way our candy lasts until we’re sick of it. While I love chocolate as is, some of them could use a twist. I’ve put together a list of 70+ different recipes that use different candies to make some seriously delicious treats. There’s everything from cookies and brownies to pies and cheesecakes. The one I’m dying to try is the Candy Corn butter, which they say tastes just like Butterfingers. Definitely something I’ll have to make and eat sparingly! I hope you enjoy The Ultimate Leftover Candy Recipe Collection!

Looking for Something Specific?

Hi!
Welcome to our little world!
My name is Lily, I am a Mommy to 6 kids; and wife to a US Navy Sailor of 15 years. We are a typical Family trying to live the American dream, and though my son’s Autism and my Husband’s PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) sometimes try to dampen our mood; we try our hardest to push through it and keep on movin’!

I absolutely LOVE blogging, sharing our life, and our adventures; whether good or not so good.

Our Family went through what WE hope is the worst week ever a year and a half ago, and tragedies continued to hit our Family for a while.
In 4 days, our car was totaled, our house broken into, and our house caught on fire. We are literally having to start over from scratch.

The worst week ever in our family- Trajedy comes in drones!
