What To Do With Leftover Easter Candy

1. Donate it to homeless shelters. Wrap up candy in treat bags and donate it to children who probably didn’t get any Easter candy.

2. Use your Peeps creatively. Turn leftover Peeps into vodka-soaked Peeptinis and Peep Waldorf Salad.

3. Create jelly bean art. Kids can draw pictures, trace the lines with frosting or blue, and decorate with brightly colored jelly beans.

4. Chop up chocolate bunnies and chicks that won’t get eaten, freeze the pieces and pull out to use like chocolate chips in cookies and other goodies.

5. Any candy that is heat-resistant can be added to shoeboxes along with other needed items for our troops as part of Operation Shoe Box. If the kids are off from school this week, this might be a great project for them to choose all the nonmelting candy in their stash, shop for the rest of the items and box it up and send it off before school starts again.

6. Fondue. Make bunny fondue and dip lots of fresh fruit in it.

7. Use Peeps in a flower arrangement. If you’re doing some spring entertaining, this is a cute idea. Peeps are pressed against the inside of a short glass vase, and a smaller glass is place inside for the water and flowers.
