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!
