Until I find some new (and good) uses for Halloween candy, here’s a list of things I’ve made in the past.
Hershey Bars
Cookies With Milk Chocolate – Can’t really go wrong here
Milk Chocolate Peppermint Crunch Cake – Todd loved this – it was more of an ice cream pie
Hershey Bar Pie – Well-loved favorite. Mix in some dark chocolate if you like
S’mores Cookies – Always popular
Snickers
Snicker Cookies – Another sure thing
Reese’s
Peanut Butter Brownies – These look a little gooey, but I’ll bet they’re good after they’ve set.
Judy’s Peanut Butter Cookies – Given all my Reese’s, I’m going to make a ton of these
Mom and Dave’s Faves – Ditto here
Assorted
Candy Bar Bars – These were actually really good! Plus, you can slip in some of the oddball candies that you don’t want (but not Nerds!).
Mounds
Mounds Brownies – My sources say these are very good.
Milky Way
Milky Way Cake – Old favorite. If you collected enough Milky Ways to make this, you’re a lucky person.
Heath Bars
Heath Bar Brownies (Epicurious) – Made a long time ago – very good
Small Batch Toffee Cookies – Awesome recipe! This is a small batch – just enough for a few stray Heath bars. If you have a lot of Heath Bars, check out the large batch version on Epicurious.
Butterfinger
Bars – Rich blondie type bar
Special Peanut Butter Balls – Freeze your Butterfingers, then make some of these for a cookie exchange
Mini Butterfinger Icebox Cake – Really good!
Butterfinger Cookies with Butterscotch –Good
Chocolate Butterfinger Pie – Tofu and Butterfinger, don’t knock it ‘til you try it.
Butterfinger Mounds – As Bridget Jones would say – v. good
Whoppers
Whopper Topped Brownies – Throw together. This is for people who got a whole lot of Whoppers.
Greenspan Whopper Cookies – Popular cookie from Dorie Greenspan. I keep meaning to make these again because my first batch came out a little too flat.
Kit Kats
Recipegirl’s Lemon Bars with Kit Kat Crust – From Recipe Girl, so it’s good. Sounds interesting…
M&Ms
Monster Cookies – No-brainer
Double Decker Brownies – This version uses a lot of baking powder, but it was still good. Might execute differently next time.

Assorted – These are recipes I plan on looking through this week

That’s an impressive list!! I’m so glad not to have all that Halloween candy in the house. We had a lot of trick or treaters so we only had a little Halloween candy leftover, which my husband has taken care of already!
Happy baking everyone!!
NICE!!!
i made the snickers bar cookies 2 days ago and they were awesome! i loved how they were sandwiched in a peanut butter cookie. i always put some twix bars in the center as well- can never go wrong with twix.
Too bad butterfingers are made with mockolate and not real chocolate. The only ones made w/ real chocolate are the jinglers for xmas and the hearts at vday.
You’re SO sweet… thanks!
I’m a HUGE, H U G E fan of sweets that incorporate candy bars, so I’ll be bookmarking some of these to try!
I made that Milky Way cake one time and it was the heaviest cake ever. But very good!
Tomorrow look for a another candy treat on my blog!
Great list! Thank you. We have way too much candy. I made bars with some that we took to party last night.
Wow Anna, what a sweet round-up!
Hi Anna,
What do ya think?
Do you think using two 8×8′s or 1 9×9/1 8×8 would work for the candy bar bars recipe? In my head, it seems it would work….but I need verification from you before I try.
How about candy corn–are there any good recipes for that? I bought some yesterday because I was craving candy corn & peanuts…ate one handful and that satisfied the craving. Now I’ve got a whole bag of the stuff. I thought to myself, “If anyone has a recipe for cookies made with candy corn, it’s Anna.”
WOW that is one DAMN fine list!!! There are so many great things to do with leftovers I think that is half the fun!! Thanks for sharing your wonderful list…
the link to your milky way cake takes you to the mounds bars instead. i would really like to see the milky way link. thanks
