And those seasonal and special edition bags of candy that Target sells, don’t even get me started. Because of the ‘Limited Edition’ factor, it’s suddenly more appealing, you go into hoard mode, and buy even more. On top of it, the 75 trick-or-treaters you were expecting really only materializes into 7 kids, 3 of which were infants-in-arms. Whoa, you now have a lotta candy. Whoa, I have a lotta candy recipes.
For the most part, the candy used in the recipes is pretty interchangeable and can be mixed-and-matched. For example, M&Ms and Reese’s Pieces are easily swapped. Or rather than using 12 Fun-Sized Snickers bars, if you have 7, along with a few 100 Grand Bars, and some random Baby Ruth’s, you’re set.
1. Chewy Chocolate Peanut Butter Butterfinger Bars (GF, keep vegan by using Peanut Butter Cups instead of Butterfingers)
- Chocolate Peanut Butter Kit Kat Crunch Bars (keep vegan and GF by using Peanut Butter Cups instead of Kit Kats) – This bar and the bar above are my current two favorite no-bake bars of the year
3. Peanut Butter Cup Cookie Dough Crumble Bars – This is probably my favorite baked bar this year
4. Milky Way Chocolate Cookie Crumble Bars – The chocolate answer to the bar above
5. Double Chocolate Caramel Corn & Cocoa Rice Krispies Candy Bars (no-bake, GF)
