What to Do With Leftover Halloween Candy

So, Halloween has come and gone, and now you’re left with a whole pile of leftover candy. What’s a person to do? Well, don’t worry, we’ve got some ideas for you on what to do with that leftover Halloween candy. First off, you could always bring it into the office. I’m sure your coworkers would love a little post-Halloween sugar rush. Plus, it’s a great way to make friends and be the hero of the office. If sharing isn’t really your thing, you could always save the candy for a rainy day.


Stockpile it in a secret stash that only you know about. Then, when you’re having a rough day or need a little pick-me-up, just raid your candy treasure trove and indulge in a sweet treat. Another option is to donate your leftover candy. There are plenty of organizations and charities that would love to take it off your hands. You could donate it to a local food bank or homeless shelter. Or, if you have any friends or family members in the military, you could send it to them overseas. Trust me, they’ll appreciate a taste of home.

And finally, if all else fails, you could always just eat it. I mean, who doesn’t love candy? You could even get creative and try making some fun recipes with leftover Halloween candy. Candy milkshakes, candy bark, candy ice cream – the possibilities are endless. So don’t let that leftover Halloween candy go to waste. Get creative, share the sweetness, or just enjoy it all yourself. It’s your candy, after all.
