Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate larger bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Gradually add in the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Next, chop up your leftover candy bars into small pieces and gently fold them into the dough. Use a cookie scoop or spoon to form dough balls and place them onto the baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Let them cool for a few minutes before indulging in these delicious candy bar cookies.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Spread the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.
Next, chop up your leftover candy into various sized pieces and sprinkle them over the melted chocolate. You can also add some fun toppings like sprinkles or crushed pretzels. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Once hardened, break the bark into pieces and enjoy!
In a large bowl, mix together the popped popcorn and candy corn. In a small saucepan, melt the butter, honey, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the hot mixture over the popcorn and candy corn and stir until everything is evenly coated. Let the mixture cool for a minute or two before shaping it into balls. You can use your hands or a greased measuring cup to create the perfect popcorn balls. Let them cool completely before serving.
These are just a few ideas to get you started, but the possibilities are endless when it comes to using up your leftover Halloween candy. Get creative and have fun experimenting with different recipes. Your taste buds will thank you for it!
