Halloween is a holiday people of all ages can enjoy. Both children and adults love dressing up as their favorite character, celebrity or scary monster. As adults, one can either go out and chaperone the kids while trick-or-treating or stay home to enjoy giving out candy to the children in the neighborhood.

So what do after halloween with all the leftover candy?

Bake It

Who doesn’t a good M&M cookie or brownies with chunks of peanut butter cups? Keep the candy stored in the pantry for easy access when baking goods for the family.  (For great recipes Click Here.)

Put it in a Piñata

If you or one of your loved ones have an upcoming birthday, fill a piñata with the leftover halloween candy. This will assure you get rid of the candy in a fun and resourceful way.

Trail Mix It

If you have plenty of M&Ms left over dump them into a large ziplock bag and add pretzels, nuts and your favorite dried fruit. Now you have a snack you can enjoy at home or at the office.

Freeze it

Save it for future use and freeze the candy. You can add it to to the many ice-cream sundaes and milkshakes that will be made through out the year!

Take it to work

Place your halloween candy basket in your desk for customers and coworkers to grab when they come into visit. Better yet, place the candy in the break room and the candy will be gone before you know it.
