WHAT TO DO WITH THAT LEFTOVER HALLOWEEN CANDY? Writer / Shelly Bergman
Halloween is the best, but there is one big challenge that comes with this spooky holiday — figuring out what to do with all of the leftover candy. I’ve had those years when you think four jumbo bags will be enough and still end up sending my husband to the store because we’ve gone through it in 30 minutes. But inevitably, you end up with too much whether from your own stash or your trick-ortreater’s. First, here is a recipe for my favorite way to use up a little extra Halloween candy. Halloween Candy Cookie Pizza Ingredients:
• Chocolate chip cookie dough • 1/4 c peanut butter • 3/4 c Milk Chocolate Morsels • Candy bars of your choice • Candy eyes and Halloween sprinkles {optional} Directions:
Let the cookie dough sit out of the fridge for a half hour. Spread out cookie dough on a pizza pan, being sure to use cookie spray on the pan. Bake according to directions on the packaging. I used the shortest amount of time to start and kept an eye until it was the perfect golden brown. While the cookie is warm out of the oven, dollop the peanut butter and sprinkle the chocolate morsels evenly. Smear the two together to make the ‘pizza sauce.’ If you’re a peanut butter lover, switch the ratio of chocolate to peanut butter. Chop the candy bars into chunks and sprinkle evenly throughout the pizza. Add the candy eyes and Halloween sprinkles for a festive flair. Cut and serve. Best eaten warm from the oven and with a glass of cold milk.
