I post this recipe every fall right after Halloween. If you are looking for a way to use up leftover Halloween candy, this recipe is awesome!!
If you have leftover Halloween candy you want to use up, this is a fun recipe to try. It reminds me a little of Adam’s Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple Cheesecake at Cheesecake Factory and is OH SO GOOD 🙂
Every year hubby and I purchase a ton of Halloween candy to give to our neighborhood trick-or-treaters. And every year, we have leftover candy. Usually I try to give the candy away to neighbors or I put the candy in a place that is hidden from site in an attempt to refrain from eating all of it in 24 hours. This recipe is a great way to use some of your leftover candy or candy you steal from you kiddos. I made it with Reece’s Peanut Butter Cups. You can make it with a different candy or a mixture of chocolates. There are no rules as to what candy would go good in these bars.
Frugal Tips:
- I used Nestle Tollhouse Cookie Dough that I got free matching a coupon with a sale (see my Photo Show & Tell HERE). To find cookie dough and candy coupons, check out Addicted to Saving’s Coupon Database.
- Cream cheese often goes on sale over the holiday season since many people bake desserts with it. Stock up on cream cheese over the holidays and freeze it. It will bake fine and you won’t have to pay full price.
Healthy Tips:
Honestly, I have no tips for you on how to make this recipe healthy. This is a deadly, oooh it is so good recipe that entails calories, sweetness and candy. 🙂
