leftover Halloween candy recipes

 
Start your Halloween Brownies by chopping several different kinds of candy bars into bite-size pieces. We used butterfingers, Hershey bars, snickers and Reeces and M&M’s.   But if you are just making M&M brownies you can either chop the M&M’s or use them whole.  
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Spray a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray
  • Using a mixer, beat brown sugar, butter, egg and, vanilla extract together in a large bowl until creamy
  • Add flour, baking powder and salt and blend together
  • Carefully fold in chopped candy pieces
  • Press batter into baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in pan for 15 minutes on a wire rack.
  • Slice into 9 equal bars, let cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan
  • Cool on wire racks

I would use at least 1 cup of M&M's but I believe more would even be better prob nearer to 1 1/2 cups.
