DURING THE OH-SO-SWEET HOLIDAY SEASON 3 Ways to Use Leftover Candy
Sometimes we get a little too much of the sweet stuff. Between Halloween and New Year’s Day, candy is everywhere. It’s at home, at work, and on store shelves. Then, as the year comes to an end, many people start thinking about eating right and losing weight. When those are your New Year’s resolutions, you have to do something about all the leftover candy so it’s not around come Jan. 1.
Here are a few ways to get rid of your leftover candy ASAP.
Donate it. While you may have an abundance of sweets, not everyone does. Consider donating wrapped and packaged candy to your local food bank or other nonprofits, including local homeless or women’s shelters. You can also look into donating candy to nearby schools. Many teachers will gladly take candy off your hands to reward students (or themselves) with treats throughout the rest of the school year. Bake with it. Whether you have an excess of candy corn or candy bars, you can bake with your sweet leftovers. The next time you make chocolate chip cookies, swap out the chocolate chips for candy corn. Or the next time you make brownies, chop up leftover candy bars and add them to the batter. From peanut butter cups to mint patties, there are so many different types of candies that can take traditional baked goods to the next level.
Store it. Although not great for you, candy is fine to eat in moderation. A good way to moderate your holiday treat intake is to store your leftover sweets in the freezer. That way, you can pull a little from your supply each month to make sure you aren’t overdoing it. That said, be sure to check the expiration dates on all candy you save.

“I’m giving Mr. Dunaway a 5/5 because he was very upfront, honest, and caring about our situation. He made it seem like bankruptcy was not the end of the world, because it is not. He was very helpful in answering questions I had for him. If I had to raise one complaint, it would be that I had a few emails go unanswered, but most of the time they were emails with questions I had asked before or something that we did not need an answer to at the time of asking. Mr. Dunaway was very accurate when it came to providing timelines and I would recommend his services to others.”
