You’ve had your fix (and then some) of the Halloween candy basics: Twix, Snickers, M&Ms, Skittles, etc. And you don’t even want to look at another Kit Kat bar. We’ve got you covered to get all that leftover Halloween candy out of your kitchen and served up in fun, exciting ways!

Make a MILKSHAKE
Stick your leftover candy in the freezer to pull out for later. You’ll love throwing these frozen candies in milkshakes, ice cream sundaes, or even cookie dough. Milkshakes are easy – just add your favorite frozen candy to ice cream or frozen yogurt, a banana (Fruit makes it healthy, right?), and milk.
BAKE
Try tossing peanut butter cups into your favorite chocolate chip cookie or brownie recipe. Lauren Conrad’s Leftover Candy Cookies are a must try.
DIY Trail Mix
Use up those leftover M&Ms to make a yummy trail mix by adding pretzels, nuts and dried fruit. So easy and so good!
FOR THE 21+
Pair it with wine.
With the combination of chocolate, caramel, and nuts, Snickers are great when paired with tawny Ports. Also, cookie-like Twix can pair nicely with a smooth Scotch – if that is more so your cup of tea.
Flavor your vodka.
Drop your candy-of-choice into any plain vodka for several hours or to your liking.
FOR THE COFFEE LOVERS
Add chocolates to your cup of Joe to make for a quick and delicious mocha. (Use any chocolate of your choice!)
If you want it completely gone… SEND IT AWAY (definitely hard to do, but your abs will thank you)
1. For Our Soldiers: Operation Gratitude will send your leftover candy overseas to our troops.
2. Bring it to work and share with your coworkers, or to school and share with your friends!
3. Create a care package and send to your grandparents. Brighten your grandparent or grandparents’ day by sending them a sweet package!
Or… be basic. You can always just eat it yourself! #nojudgments
