Raise your hand if you are OVER Halloween candy in your house!
After the first couple of days of letting the kids languish in sugar-powered joy, I am ready to get rid of every bite-size candy bar and snack-size candy in my house.
If you're looking for a quick way to get rid of all that Halloween candy, we have the answer! Leftover candy cookies.
Best of all, you can freeze these cookie dough balls to thaw and bake any time you want.
