Last night while I was in the kitchen I noticed how much Halloween candy I had left over. I was just going to throw it out. When I remembered, last year a lot of you guys baked cakes, breads, and brownies using left over Halloween candy. (You guys are geniuses.)Now, I searched for a very basic brownie recipe. The type of recipe that does not require melting really nice chocolate. Into the Google search button went "...brownie, cocoa powder, recipe" and ta-dah "...Hershey's Brownies".
I know you dying to ask "...Gigi how does it taste?" Well, it's chocolate. How bad could it be? I used Hershey's Miniature Candy Bars and Three Musketeer's Dark Chocolate Mint Bars. Some of the bites were awesome. And some bites were ...umm ... different.
Hey, if you have a ton of candy left over and are feeling a little Dr. Frankenstein then go right ahead and give these a go. And let me know what candy bar combination you used. All I can tell you is peanuts and wintergreen mint not so good together.
On a side note, The Cake Slice will no longer be accepting new members. We are honored that so many of you have committed to the group and many wish to do so. We made a promise in the beginning to keep the group small and we will keep that promise to you guys.

Yes, please!! :-D
I love it how you guys used up all the left-over halloween candy! Those brownies make for a handsome bit...
Oh man, those look awesome! If only I had a surplus of vegan candy...

Oh yum they look delicous and what a brilliant way to use up leftover candy. Hmmm, not sure about peanuts and mint either, but it would add an interesting touch.
What a great idea, Gigi! I'll have three, please. ;)
Great idea, I'll have to do this for all the candy I don't want my 2 year old to eat! :)
love it. i have some whoppers left over. the possibilities are endless!

I was just going to throw it out.
oh, how that pains me. i just hate waste, and i'm glad you were able to find a use for your candy. a fabulous use, if i do say so myself. :)
This is such a great idea. Too bad all my Halloween candies are gone. :(
Wow great brownies and use of boiled sweets (is candy boiled sweets) or just any sweets, whatever it is, is a great idea and you just inspired me to do some brownies.Never stop making new stuff.I love it.

Ooooh, that is an excellent idea... the possibilites are endless (well, at least until the candy runs out).
And I'm so glad I got in on the cake slice!
Hi there! I lvoe your blog! I stumbled upon it through google and have been on here for almost an hour!:) Heres a question for you...whats your all time fav Yellow/White Cake recipe? Care to share? ;)

OMG! I am drooling :):):):):)
lol! I love how you say some bites were "different". When I bake something and my darling isn't sure he likes it much, he just says it's "different". I know what that means! :) The mint/chocolate combo sounds good though.
That's a great idea Gigi, Halloween candy can stay around so long it takes on a life of it's own! LOL!!
Delicious use of leftovers! I did the same with peppermint patties.
Mmmm excellent use of leftover Halloween candy. I should do something like that, though the only Halloween candy I have left is the stuff I don't really like.
hmmmm!!!!!! brownies so so good :) these look so yummy
Do you have a good Red Velvet Cake recipe.. I want to make it, but I would like to use one that someone recommends. I tried to make one once, but it turned out kinda dry.
YUM...I just made mint brownies last nite with some leftover candy and they are divine. So ironic because I was thinking that these same brownies with peanut butter and other candies truly IS genius!
oh btw cici, a good RV recipe to try is Auntie Em's red velvets, I think the recipe is on Food Network. don't use as much oil as she does though, it's way too greasy. i played around with this one until i got something i liked...but it's a good place.
Dear CiCi,
Mara took the words right out of my mouth. That recipe is a great one. I always achieved great results with it. I have halved it and doubled it with no problems!
Those are so darling, Gigi, I love them!
WOW! These look so sinful! YUMMY
Those look and sound very norty indeed.
I suppose you haven't got any left?
I bet my dad would LOVE these! We always have miniature candy bars in our house because my dad eats them aaaaaalllllllll the time. I'll hafta make these for him. ;)
My friend Tonia makes a snickers cookie. She takes the bite sized snickers bars and wraps them in a basic peanut butter cookie recipe and they are soo good!
