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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
