You'll be sitting on a small mountain of Halloween candy, so let's get creative with a couple more candy hacks.

Halloween Candy Hacks

Homemade flavored vodka

Just drop a fruit flavored candy in a bottle and let it soak for a while, to make your own homemade, creatively flavored vodka drinks. (*tip-skittles & starburst worked best)

Freeze it

Throughout the year, add it to milkshakes, sundaes, ice cream, and plain cookie dough. (For a quick milkshake, add mini Butterfinger or Snickers bars to ice cream or frozen yogurt and milk—maybe even throw a banana in there, too

Put chocolates into your coffee

BOOM! Easy mocha.

Make an advent calendar for November (and December if your candy haul was huge)

Put candy in Dixie cups and cover with tissue. On the tissue, write numbers 1-30, and place the cups sideways on a large poster board to form a calendar. Let kids punch through the tissue to get their treat each day.
