Turn Leftover Halloween Candy Into Cookies and Shakes With These Recipes
It's the end of October and that means the first thing you'll see when you walk in the grocery store are rows and rows of marked down bags of Halloween candy. Trick-or-treating makes Halloween the best day of the year for any kid, by far. Free candy and an epic costume, what could possibly beat that?
Of course, college kids enjoy celebrating Halloween too. Despite being "too old" to trick-or-treat, we still manage to have fun throughout the entire Halloween weekend.
And in case you were wondering what your favorite dessert tastes like paired with your favorite Halloween candy, you've come to the right place. You don't have to throw away your leftover Halloween candy anymore—you can actually make it better. The following is a list of the best recipes that incorporate your leftover Halloween candy.

They weren't lying, Snickers really do satisfy. Which means a milkshake made from the best candy bar is most definitely a win.
ROLOs are a beautiful thing in and of themselves—a chocolate and caramel goodness. To make them even more amazing, put them inside a peanut butter cookie and you're set to go (it's no wonder Reese's ranks number one on the list of favorite Halloween candies). It doesn't get much better than that.

In this next recipe, make sure the candy corn is not touching the cookie sheet when you place the dough down because it will stick to the sheet, which is super hard to get off. I made that mistake, whoops.
