4 Creative Ways to Get Rid of Your Easter Candy

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Emerson chapter.

Easter has come and gone, yet a bag of candy still sits in most people’s kitchens. At first, the thought was exciting, but now it just seems like a giant burden to deal with all that sugar and chocolate. So what’s a girl to do? Time to get creative when it comes to getting rid of that candy!

1. Improvisational wine glass

If you’re in the 21+ crowd and still have a chocolate bunny, here’s what to do. Use a knife to remove the bunny’s ears (sorry pal!). Then, fill it up with wine. Voila! Perfect for a wine and chocolate night.

2. Easter candy swap

This is not only a great way to get rid of your candy, but also a good excuse to get your friends together before the end of the semester. Have everyone get together with their candy and swap it! This way, you can get rid of any kind you hate and get more of your favorites. Plus, it’s always easier to snack when you’re not alone!

3. Emergency pack

Okay, so candy isn’t the best breakfast, but we all have those mornings where we forget to eat and can’t focus in class over our stomach growling. Stash your candy in your bag for moments like this. It’ll give you a quick sugar rush to get you through the day!

4. Baked goodies

If you still have candy like M&M’s left over, use them in other recipes. Make M&M cookies or even pancakes! It’s a great way to put your oven to good use.

 

And if worst comes to worst and you still have candy when finals roll around… stress eat it! No matter what, it’s never too awful to have leftover candy.
