Leftover Candy Bar Brownies

Happy Halloween Time! Let’s make the party last with these leftover candy bar brownies.

For those of you that don’t know- I’m a super rationer when it comes to food. I’ve always  been this way and vividly remember a road trip incident where it took me almost two hours to eat a snack size bag of Doritos.

I don’t know why I’m like this – we had no shortage of food growing up and I never had any siblings that would steal my treats but still, to this day, like a squirrel hoarding acorns for the winter, I too, hoard my food.

But not like, in a HOARDERS kind of way.

Still, my stash of Cadbury mini-eggs most often make it to July and often times by the time I finish my treats they have no doubt gone bad. I’m the person that will actually only eat half a brownie and does actually stay true to the portion size recommendations on ice cream containers.

Why do I say this? I say this because if left to my own devices, Halloween candy will sometimes last from one year to the next. I kid you not.  Because it actually has happened in my house the last few years, this year I’ve come up with a solution to use it all up in a most delicious way.

Because let’s face it – a lot of those snack sizes need help on their own, and what better way to make plastic chocolate not taste like chocolate than to add actual, delicious chocolate to it?

So I took my best fudgy-brownie recipe and sprinkled any leftover chocolate candy all over it, bars chopped into pieces. I suppose you could do this with say, sour patch kids of the like kind of candy, but I say keep chocolate with chocolate. But you do you.

What did I use here? I’ve got a combo of M&Ms, Reese’s peanut butter ghosts, Snickers, Kit Kats and Twix.

The good stuff.

Chop ‘em up, sprinkle them over the brownie mix and let them all melt together into a heavenly mix.

These brownies. Well…they’re so good, it’s scary.
