CHEAP CANDY



Now is the time to do some candy shopping.  The stores don't want to store all of that left-over

Halloween candy, so they are marking it down to rock-bottom prices.

Best of all, you can use coupons on clearance items!

Are you thinking that you don't want any Halloween candy?

Well, much of the 'Halloween' candy isn't really 'Halloween' candy.

If it was put out in the Halloween candy section, then it's considered Halloween candy.

Many actual Halloween candy packages only have Halloween decor on the outside packaging.

Inside is your everyday, normal looking wrapped candy, which can easily become Christmas gift candy!

Candy Wreathe

Tootsie Roll Candy Wreath With Snowflake Ribbon

Did you get out and get all of that clearanced candy yet?

So, now what can you do with all of that candy?

Candy wreathes are fun to make and fun to get as a gift!

I love to see my candy wreathe receipients' eyes lite up!

I take a wire clothes hanger, and wrap some cardboard

around it to give me a flat surface to work with.

Then, I use a hot glue gun and glue on the candy.

Add a ribbon, just for a little more fun!

(Other directions say to tie all of that candy onto the wire clothes hanger, but I couldn't get it to work.

Here's another idea for making a candy wreathe.)

Great Ways To Use Leftover Halloween Candy!

Great Ways To Use Leftover Halloween Candy!
by Jill Cooper and Tawra Kellam
Living on a Dime

Here are some tips for using all of that extra Halloween Candy!
  • To prevent sugar shock, have a big bag of popcorn waiting when everyone comes back from Trick or Treating. It's easy to fix and will counteract some of the sweet stuff.
  • You can freeze candy up to a year in the freezer.
  • Don't forget to buy discounted Halloween candy for Christmas stockings and parties. Most kids don't care if their Christmas candy is orange and black or if it has silver and gold wrappers instead of red and green.
  • Use leftover Halloween candy in Christmas baking and for making gingerbread houses.
  • Use grated or chopped chocolate in place of chocolate chips in cookies.
  • It is easier to cut candy into pieces if you freeze it first.
  • Break Butterfinger candy bars into peanut butter cookie dough.
  • Sprinkle chopped chocolates on a white or chocolate frosted cake or use them to top ice cream and cheesecake.
  • Mix leftover chopped chocolates into cake mixes.
  • When making cupcakes, decorate the tops with one Hershey's kiss or a mini candy bar.
  • Pour some leftover candy into a basket or pretty bowl to give to someone for a special gift.
  • Even a Christmas bag full of an assortment of candies would be a gift that would delight anyone - kids, adults, co-workers or neighbors.
  • When making apple butter, instead of your usual spices use 1/2 cup red cinnamon candies and 1 Tbsp. cinnamon for every 10 cups apples and your regular amount of sugar.

We talk a lot about what to do with leftover candy but don't forget you can also do nothing with it but eat it! :) :) ...my favorite thing! Stockpile bags of candy to use for school parties, birthday parties and so on. In my case, I have a huge candy jar I keep full for when the grandkids come to visit. I can go through pounds of it that way. It keeps forever so don't feel that you have to hurry and use it.
One reader, Karen, says, "After the kids are done Halloweening, I grab 24 candies for each child (I have 4) to save for a countdown to Christmas instead of buying the calendars in the stores. I usually keep them in a bag but you can get the kids to decorate shoe boxes or stick the candy to a calendar with tape."

Here are some leftover candy recipes for you to try:
Stained Glass Cookies
Cut a hole in the center of rolled out sugar cookie dough. Place a hard colored candy into the center. Bake as usual. The candies will create a stained glass look.

Candy Bar Milkshakes
1 cup mini candy bars, chopped
2 cups (1 pint) ice cream (chocolate or vanilla)
1/2 cup chocolate syrup
1 1/4 cups milk
Chop candies in a food processor. They are easier to chop if they are partially frozen. Add the rest of the ingredients. Mix until blended. This makes a thick shake. Add 1/4 cup milk for a thinner shake. Makes 2 milkshakes.

Chocolate Chip Candy Bar Cookies
45 mini Hershey's candy bars
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
3 cups flour
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Chop candy bars. Cream butter and sugars in a bowl. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend well. Fold in candy bar pieces. Scoop batter onto a greased cookie sheet with a teaspoon. Bake 9-11 minutes until golden. Let rest on cookie sheet 2 minutes before moving to a cooling rack. Cool completely. Makes 2-3 dozen.

Saturday Sit-Down



The end of the month is the perfect time to have a Saturday Sit-Down.

In a few days it will be November, and we will find ourselves right in the holiday hustle and bustle.

Make this year the year of organization.  Let's be strategic about the holidays this year.

A little strategy; a little organization tends to save a TON of stress!

Make sure you jot down your holiday menu ideas. 

Hey, while you are writing out your Thanksgiving dinner plan, you might as well take a few extra minutes and plan out your Christmas dinner too.

Our family's Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners don't differ too much, so that simplifies things for me.

I will also be jotting down the extra holiday baking I will be doing this season.

Then, I can look over these lists and pull together my shopping list fairly quick.

Do you already have your holiday box of non-perishable foods going in your pantry (or even in a box stuffed under your bed)?

Nobody wants to be in the grocery stores on the night before Thanksgiving!

With just over three weeks until Thanksgiving, so let's get a strategy going.

Be sure and leave me a comment, email me or pop over onto my facebook page and tell me all about your holiday strategy!
