Did you get less trick-or-treaters than you expected? Maybe your kid got way more candy than you'd like them to consume? Here are some ideas for ways to use up the Halloween sugar!
I recently read some ideas in a Parenting magazine for ways to use up left-over Halloween candy while helping you consume some more healthy ingredients along with it. I couldn't find it on their website, but here were their ideas...
Banana Split - split a banana lengthwise, fill it with whipped cream, and top with crumbled peanut butter cups.
Candy applesauce - crush lollipops and sprinkle over applesauce. As your kid stirs, the colors in the candy change the colors of the applesauce!
Mini Chocolate Fondue - Microwave a few chocolate bars in the microwave and serve with some fruit for dunking.
Post-Halloween Pudding - Make a low-fat version of pudding (with skim milk) and stir in bits of Snickers or Milky Way before you chill it
Spooky Snack Mix - Combine nuts, dried fruits, cereal, pretzels, etc with small candy bits like candy corn, jelly beans, or M&M's.

I personally have no problems with simply consuming all Kit Kat bars in their natural state, however, here is a delicious looking cake that uses Kit Kat and Reese's Pieces
