a simple recipe :: candy bar blondie bars

Halloween is tomorrow and both my kids are so excited to get all dressed up in their costumes!  Neither of them realize that tomorrow is a day that they will probably receive more candy than they need to eat, but they are excited to wear their costumes and get to see what everyone else is dressed up like!

I love Halloween!  I personally don’t love to get dressed up, but I’ve always loved the excitement for kids around getting to decide what they want to be and then either finding that or coming up with a way to make the costume come together to be their favorite character or superhero!

So I know we will all have an excess of candy in our homes over the next few months from Halloween!  Our kids will either come home with more than the could possibly eat, or we will have leftovers from what we bought to hand out to the trick-or-treaters who come to our house!

There’s so many amazing ideas to do with all those leftover treats, but here’s a recipe I love that you can bake and share and use up some of those candy bars.
