Receta Left Over Halloween Candy Balls
Yes, I am aware that Halloween was over 21 days ago.
Yes, I know that I am mega-late with this post. However, I am trying to play catch up with the blog so humor me a little ;)
This recipe came to me in the midst of trying to lessen our candy stash for Halloween. My children ended up with enough candy to fill two gallon sized ziplock bags. They were so happy to see the results of their hard earned trick-or-treating. I, on the other hand, went into panic mode the next day with trying to figure out what to do with all of it.
I came across this recipe in my e-mail and decided to give it a shot. I have seen similar recipes floating around the net and have always wanted to try it. Truth be known, you don't really have to wait for Halloween to make these. These would be great to make year round with any kind of left over candy that may grace your cabinets.
We really enjoyed these and they will be made again next year after Halloween.
