How To Use All Of Your 50% Off Candy Wisely
Pioneer Woman

It's the first week of November, and that means we are in full holiday swing. The holiday cups are out at Starbucks, Michaels is selling crafts for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and your old, kooky neighbors already put their lights up. However, as you attempt to decide if you can justify a Christmas tree this early or whether you should bake a pumpkin or pecan pie for Friendsgiving, there is still one thing to contend with: Halloween Candy.

Undoubtedly, you went and bought a few bags in case there were trick or treaters...and then a few extra once it was on sale for 50%. Now you are stuck with an ungodly amount of chocolate and an overwhelming desire to bake holiday treats. Here are a few recipes to help you channel all of that feeling into delicious treats for you or to share!

1. No Bake Hershey Bar Pie

This pie uses good, old-fashioned Hershey's Bars with Almonds for a deliciously creamy filling. The best part? You don't even need to heat up the oven for this recipe, so it could even be attempted in a dorm!

2. Creamy Snickers Dip

Who would have thought that chopping up Snickers in a bunch of creamy cool whip and cream cheese would make for an amazing appetizer?! Bring some apples and pretzels to make this amazing dip into a tailgate classic.

3. Almond Joy Crescent Rolls

These little treats are basically the perfect way to sneak candy into breakfast. What could go wrong with almond joys wrapped in crescent roll dough?!

4. Biscoff Twix Popcorn

This recipe combines cookie butter and Twix, so every basic girl should be satisfied for good. Also, this recipe is SO simple, you would be a fool to not make this literally right now.

5. Whopper Brownies

If you're anything like me, Whoppers are one of your least favorites in the grab bag of the chocolate world. However, put them in brownies with some delicious malted buttercream and we have a different story.

6. Candy Popsicles

What to do with the gummy, fruity candy you inevitably grabbed a bit of? Throw them in a popsicle mold with lemonade or sprite and call it a day!

7. Dark Chocolate Reese's Pieces Cookies

These cookies look amazing to say the least. And, better than amazing, the combo of peanut butter and dark chocolate may just be the perfect solution to stress eating before testing season.

8. Butterfinger Puppy Chow

This recipe uses two different types of Butterfinger, so that means it must be twice as rich, right? Again, this quick and easy treat is perfect for those without an oven, making it the best way for you to win over your whole dorm in an instant.

9. Candy Corn Milkshake

Now, this milkshake is nondairy, so rejoice to all of you lactose-intolerant babes. However, this milkshake is even better thanks to the addition of candy corn (!!) and, if you're feeling really crazy, the optional banana and pumpkin.

10. Pilgrim Hat Cupcakes

Get in the spirit for the next upcoming holiday with these super cute cupcakes that use Reese's cups as an adorable topper. This recipe is super simple but is sure to impress everyone at your next get-together.


Now, enjoy your treats and use all of your candy possible!

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
