Want to Get Rid of That Halloween Candy? Make These Cookies

Raise your hand if you are OVER Halloween candy in your house!

After the first couple of days of letting the kids languish in sugar-powered joy, I am ready to get rid of every bite-size candy bar and snack-size candy in my house.

If you're looking for a quick way to get rid of all that Halloween candy, we have the answer! Leftover candy cookies.

Best of all, you can freeze these cookie dough balls to thaw and bake any time you want.

• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1 1/4 cups oatmeal

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Unwrap and crush or cut up a mix of leftover chocolate candy. You can also add crushed up sandwich cookies and chocolate or peanut butter candy pieces.
