Mr. Food's easy recipe for Candy Bar Cooler is the perfect way to use up leftover Halloween candy!

 From Mr. Food Team Member Jodi    

I am always amazed by the amount of candy that changes hands during the Halloween season. Every store you go to has bags and bags of Twix, Snickers, M&M’s and Smarties stocked and ready for the holiday. The displays have been up since the beginning of the month. I don’t know about you, but I don’t buy my candy until the day before, and sometimes not until the 31st. It’s too dangerous to have all that tempting chocolate in the house! I’d like to meet the person who buys their supply early in October and still has some left to hand out on Halloween! (If you’re out there, let me know!)    

With two kids, we always have soooo much candy in the house after the trick-or-treating is over. Some years, we’ve had so much that I’ve donated a portion of the “loot” to a local organization that sends it to troops serving overseas.    

If you wake up on November 1st and realize that you have way too much candy in your house, I have another idea. Mr. Food has actual recipes that use Halloween candy as an ingredient! Last year, I made the Candy Bar Cooler.  It was like a yummy, chunky milkshake! (Is your mouth watering yet?) This year, I’m thinking about trying the Halloween Candy Bars. Don’t be “tricked” by the name…they’re like bar cookies with chopped candy mixed in. Sound like a real “treat”?    

Whatever you decide to do with all that candy you’re going to have left over, be safe, have fun, and have a very Happy Halloween!
