Judging by the giant bag of candy sitting in your bedroom, last night’s trick-or-treating was a major success. But now that Halloween’s over, how’s a girl going to devour a whole bucket of sweets before it goes bad (or, worse, your little bro digs into it)?
DW, we found the perfect recipes to keep your well-earned Halloween loot from going to waste…
Twix Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars
OK, that’s a mouthful (both in saying that name and in every delicious bite). But your fave Halloween candy + cheesecake + cookie dough = a dream combo. To keep this one simple, you can even use premade cookie dough (the iconic Pillsbury pumpkin cookies are probs on sale at the grocery store right now). Fair warning: Prepping the cheesecake layer takes a bit of time, but we promise every second will be worth it.
Crazy Halloween Blondies
This recipe is basically the candy salad of baked goods. Whip up some blondies (or brownies, if you’re more of a chocolate gal), and then top with as much candy as you can toss on. Try M&M’s, pretzels if you like salty-sweet, chopped pieces of your favorite candy bar, even candy corn. The more color, the better!

Chocolate Peanut Butter KitKat Crunch Bars
You can never go wrong with chocolate + PB. And when you throw KitKats in the mix, it’s bound to be ah-mazing. The best part about these bars is that they’re no-bake, so you won’t even have to turn on the oven to get your fudgy fix.
Halloween Candy Cookie Cake
You love cookies, you love cake—so of course you’re going to heart this cookie cake recipe. From chocolate bars to Whoppers to everything in between, there’s room for it all on your giant cookie (except maybe the sour gummy worms…).

Candy Corn and White Chocolate Softbatch Cookies
Candy corn is possibly one of the most controversial Halloween candies, but if you’re a fan of it, this cookie recipe is perfect for you. The dough is super soft and buttery (kind of like those iconic frosted cookies from the grocery store).
Halloween Candy Bark
This recipe is for anyone who’s lacking in cooking skills. All you have to do is melt and spread some chocolate (the recipe calls for chocolate chips, but you can just as easily use leftover Hershey bars), then chop up your favorite candies (Twix, Snickers, Reese’s Pieces, Reese’s Cups, you name it). Psst: If you need some help polishing off your tasty treats, pop pieces in a tin and gift your besties/teachers/teammates.
