3. Baked Candy Bars
Use your candy bars to make candy bars! This recipe will show you how much better candy bars can taste when baked into a candy bar. The idea is to crush up all the candy and then bake it.
You will need about 1 1/2 cups of crushed candy for this. Reeses, M&Ms, Snickers, and Three Musketeers are some of my faves!
Preheat the oven to 350, then whisk together these dry ingredients:
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon of sea salt
Next melt 2 sticks of butter and whisk, removing from heat once it begins to brown. Cool the butter in a bowl, then beat in 1 1/4 cup packed brown sugar and 1/4 granulated sugar. Once thoroughly mixed, beat in one large egg plus one egg yolk and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Add the dry ingredients slowly and beat on low-speed combined.
Press the dough into a baking dish and then press in your crushed candy, getting it nice and embedded in the dough and sprinkled over the top. Bake until lightly golden on top, about 18-20 minutes. Let cool and cut into bars!
Other things to do with leftover chocolate:
- Melt and freeze in an ice cube tray for future uses
- Break into tiny chunks to use in cookies or desserts
- Throw it away so it can no longer tempt you! (Half-kidding on that one.)
