New month, new theme.
I have been workshopping the title of November’s theme for the last couple of days. Because I already knew what I wanted to do.
I want to do a pantry cleanout. Of all the odds and ends I’ve collected over the past year.
The theme for November is Something from Nothing
And what better place to start immediately after Halloween than the leftover Halloween candy.
Any kid who has been trick or treating in the last several decades knows that the best candy is to be eaten that night, or the next day. This is the best way to protect the haul from poachers, AKA siblings or parents.
Frankly, the dregs of the candy pumpkin are just sad.
And, of course, I saw a recipe.
I’ve made these in the past, with the standard Toll House recipe and chopped-up mini candy bars. This was exactly the recipe.
Leftover because of course we overbought. Blame our horror of being caught without candy.
Oh, the neighborhood shame!
Has that ever happened?
No.
But it could!
