Christmas goes by so fast. If you’re lucky enough you may find a few bowls and stockings full of leftover sweets. Sure, you could just eat the candies one by one.

I think you’ll find these leftover Christmas candy recipes help you justify savoring the sweetness one last time! (Hey, we’re “upcycling” here aren’t we!) 😉

Get your kids in the kitchen and whip up some of these tasty leftover Christmas candy recipes this week! –The dishes would be perfect to bring to a New Year’s Eve party. *Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink!

    We make fondue with the leftover chocolate. An easy recipe is about 10 oz. of chocolate, 15 large marshmallows, and 2 cups of cream (or half and half if you want it lighter). The measurements don't have to be precise either. Serve with lots of fresh fruit, extra tiny marshmallows, pound cake, or whatever else you fancy. It makes enough for about 8-10 servings in my household. My husband I'm sure would love the Caramel Filled Pretzel Cookies. He is on some weird phase of loving all things pretzel related. lol
