Giant Cookie Cake with Leftover Halloween Candy

November 5, 2014 by Jenn
 If you have a bunch of leftover candy from Halloween, this is the recipe for you!  If you ate it all your Halloween candy, good news- it’s all on clearance at the local stores, so go and grab some more before it’s all gone!  If you do not live where you participate in Halloween festivities, you can use any candy you want to!  I’m solving all of the world’s problems this morning- finding solutions to a lack of candy.  You’re welcome.  
 
Some people (not naming names- ME) went out of town after purchasing Costco candy for all the trick-or-treators in the neighbourhood and have a ginormous bag of candy (that I don’t like) leftover- NEVER opened!  Oops.  If you’re like me, there is serious strategy to buying Halloween candy.  I buy what you don’t like, and then you won’t eat it.  Usually, that is a fail safe way ensure there is no snacking, BUT since I recieved so many requests for a new recipe on how to use up leftover candy, I had to go out and buy some. Had to.  HAD to!  Then I HAD to go out and buy more when we snacked our way through the chocolate candies.  HAD TO PEOPLE!! YOU MADE ME!!  I thank you for that.  My pants don’t, but I do.
 
 Making a giant cookie cake definitely saves time, rather than dishing out individual amount of dough to make smaller cookies.  You can do this with this recipe, but the fun is in serving a slice to your family or friends.  Triangular pieces are a change from the standard round cookie, as are chunks of candy!  If you choose to roll these cookies into rounds, bake them for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown at 350F.  
 
Whether you choose to make this the traditional way, or in it’s giant cookie form as seen in our tutorial, it’s a delicious, and fast way to use up any candy/chocolate you might have hanging around!

White Chocolate Candy Corn Cookies

September 24, 2014 by Jenn

Target Canada can sometimes be a little slow on distribution of goods, especially when the shopper (me) is looking for Halloween and fall candies at the beginning of September.  Wait a second- is that my problem, or Target’s?   Sorry Target– I should have known better!  It was too soon for shopping for fall things!  The only candy that was out on the shelves while I was pre-season shopping was candy corn.  I don’t like candy corn, but as you’ve just heard from my ramblings, I had no other choice for a fun cookie add-in.   I couldn’t go without some sort of chocolate though, so to match the candy corn, white chocolate was in order.  And yes, Target had that in stock.

Candy selection in Canada can sometimes be dismal.  It’s not just a problem for one store, it’s a problem for all Canadian stores.  I’m not sure if candy corn is available outside of North America, but if you can’t find it in your country, I understand!  There are so many types of candies, candy bars, and chocolate bars that we can’t get here in Canada, so I have to travel over the border to get supplies for recipes.  Luckily, I’m only an hour away from the nearest border crossing, so I’m able to do that.  Unfortunately for some, that’s not an option.  I get lots of questions about where to find certain treats or ingredients from countries around the world, and I’m usually not able to help with locating them.  If there is a certain candy or ingredient that you need for a recipe, always try Googling it, and seeing if you can get it mailed to you.  I also have lots of success with Amazon. 

Since candy corn is made entirely of sugar, it is likely to melt in the heat of the oven, so try to keep the corn pieces away from the outside of the balls of cookie dough. You can place some on top of the cookie before putting them into the oven if you want the candy corn to be seen better.  

 

The recipe is after the break!  Enjoy!
