Add Your Leftover Halloween Candy to These 15 Desserts

Brownies only get better when you add more chocolate, chocolate pieces, or chopped candy bars — this is a scientifically proven fact.

These toffee bars have a cookie crust, but you can use both fun-size chocolate bars and any toffee bars, peanut bars, or butterfingers you have in place of the toffee.

Ever drop chocolate candy into your movie theater popcorn? You end up with perfect bites of warm chocolate and crispy popcorn. This is the grown-up version of that, with a little spicy kick to boot. It can be made with any leftover chocolate candies you’ve got.

Wondering what to do with your candy corn (or any other candies you’re less-than-excited about)? Grab some Rice Krispies and chocolate, and make up an extra-crispy bark!

Chop up almost any candy and you can fold it into a batch of classic Rice Krispies treats. But scotcheroos are a little more dressed-up version with a rich flavor. This recipe works best with mini chocolate bars, caramels, or peanut butter candies folded in along with the cereal.

Like a number of others on our list, this salty-sweet mix is ideal for using up every type of Halloween candy in your bucket. Candy corn, gummies, and even chocolate pieces are welcome here.

These baked bars call for semi-sweet chips but are cuter (and somehow taste better) with mini-chocolate bars in their place. Feel free to add other chocolate candies or chopped chocolate bars too.

Blondies are infinitely adaptable — it’s one of the reasons we love them. This one-bowl version makes it easy to add in leftover candy. These make a great lunch box treat too, because the blondies can be cut into tiny squares.

This is a fun but elaborate way to use up fruit candies. If you don’t have a fish bowl lying around, you can make single servings of these in small ramekins or cocktail glasses. Delight kids by serving it up for dessert after a fish dinner.

Leftover candy is my favorite reason to make a batch of cupcakes. Chop up some candy, then shower it over the frosting. Everything from M&M’s and Reese’s Pieces to peanut butter cups and any kind of fun-size candy bar is fair game.

These cool, seasonal bars are typically topped with chocolate-covered pretzels, but now’s the time to big into your stash to change things up. Kit-Kats, Butterfingers, Mounds, and Twix are some of my favorite additions.

This recipe will walk you through the simple steps of making a basic chocolate bark. Then it’s up to you to top it off with a shower of all your favorite bite-sized candy pieces. It’s all fair game here!

If you were lucky enough to snag Pop Rocks, this is the absolute best thing you can do with them (besides dumping the whole packet in your mouth, of course). You’ll need a few packets to pull off this recipe, but one packet is plenty to make a single Rice Krispies treat.

What makes this double-layered treat of brown butter- and marshmallow-coated oats so special is the streak of salted chocolate through the center. And it gets even better when you layer in bits of chopped-up candy.

Here’s a final way to use up any leftover chocolate bars. Roughly chopping the bars first turns them into thick pools of melted chocolate, which make this oversized cookie extra gooey and good.
