DAILY TIP:

After you get over your initial sugar high and hangover, try these nifty ideas to make the most of all that leftover candy.
- Make Hot Chocolate with Real Chocolate: Melt a 1 oz. mini chocolate bar into a mug of milk, making sure to stir frequently. It's especially tasty with rich chocolates such Dove miniatures.
- Spice Up Your Cooking: Try adding Red Hots to BBQ for a homemade chipotle sauce. Yum!
- Brownie Blends: Simply stir chopped candy directly into brownie batter. You can also sprinkle it as a topping or use it as a garnish for brownie sundaes.
- Savor it for Later: Place wrapped candy in a freezer bag and throw it in the freezer for later. Candy stored this way will last up to a year. When you're ready to use, simply thaw at room temperature (the whitish bloom' that develops on chocolate candy when it freezes will go away after it thaws).
- Make a Batch of Candy Coated Popcorn: Simply melt any type of leftover candy and use it as a glaze to coat popcorn (microwave or air-popped) in a large bowl. The key is to make sure the popcorn has no butter or salt (or as little as possible). Spread the glazed popcorn on a cookie sheet to dry, and voila: candy coated popcorn. Even better with nuts.

Is there supposed to be candy leftover?
Sounds good to me. But I went to the store & bought more at 50% off... Who wants to get rid of candy?
