10 Things To Make with Halloween Candy
Every year I face the dilemma of what to do with all the Halloween candy. I always feel too guilty to throw it away. I try to incorporate it into recipes but instead end up eating a lot of it.

our local homeless shelter welcomes donations of any kind of FOOD....and this year sent out a plea for candy that might just be thrown out....
ReplyDeletethat's why we really don't get candies and chocolates =) we usually attend a halloween/birthday party so we're not home the whole night =P
ReplyDeleteJessica, thank you so much for the lovely comment on my blog! Your kind words mean a lot to me.
ReplyDeleteGreat round up of candy projects! I did a Christmas tree decor similar to the candy leis. I used colorful hard candy and saranwrap with bits of leftover yarn. The end result looks like a mini wreath that can be put through the tree branch.
Today a coworker of mine shared the tip of saving leftover Halloween candy for gingerbread houses at Christmastime. Save brightly colored candies, lollipops for trees, etc. and you're a step ahead!

We put our candy in a big jar and make goodie bags when we go to the movies all year!
