How To Use All Of Your 50% Off Candy Wisely
Pioneer Woman

It's the first week of November, and that means we are in full holiday swing. The holiday cups are out at Starbucks, Michaels is selling crafts for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and your old, kooky neighbors already put their lights up. However, as you attempt to decide if you can justify a Christmas tree this early or whether you should bake a pumpkin or pecan pie for Friendsgiving, there is still one thing to contend with: Halloween Candy.

Undoubtedly, you went and bought a few bags in case there were trick or treaters...and then a few extra once it was on sale for 50%. Now you are stuck with an ungodly amount of chocolate and an overwhelming desire to bake holiday treats. Here are a few recipes to help you channel all of that feeling into delicious treats for you or to share!

1. No Bake Hershey Bar Pie

This pie uses good, old-fashioned Hershey's Bars with Almonds for a deliciously creamy filling. The best part? You don't even need to heat up the oven for this recipe, so it could even be attempted in a dorm!

2. Creamy Snickers Dip

Who would have thought that chopping up Snickers in a bunch of creamy cool whip and cream cheese would make for an amazing appetizer?! Bring some apples and pretzels to make this amazing dip into a tailgate classic.

3. Almond Joy Crescent Rolls

These little treats are basically the perfect way to sneak candy into breakfast. What could go wrong with almond joys wrapped in crescent roll dough?!

4. Biscoff Twix Popcorn

This recipe combines cookie butter and Twix, so every basic girl should be satisfied for good. Also, this recipe is SO simple, you would be a fool to not make this literally right now.

5. Whopper Brownies

If you're anything like me, Whoppers are one of your least favorites in the grab bag of the chocolate world. However, put them in brownies with some delicious malted buttercream and we have a different story.

6. Candy Popsicles

What to do with the gummy, fruity candy you inevitably grabbed a bit of? Throw them in a popsicle mold with lemonade or sprite and call it a day!

7. Dark Chocolate Reese's Pieces Cookies

These cookies look amazing to say the least. And, better than amazing, the combo of peanut butter and dark chocolate may just be the perfect solution to stress eating before testing season.

8. Butterfinger Puppy Chow

This recipe uses two different types of Butterfinger, so that means it must be twice as rich, right? Again, this quick and easy treat is perfect for those without an oven, making it the best way for you to win over your whole dorm in an instant.

9. Candy Corn Milkshake

Now, this milkshake is nondairy, so rejoice to all of you lactose-intolerant babes. However, this milkshake is even better thanks to the addition of candy corn (!!) and, if you're feeling really crazy, the optional banana and pumpkin.

10. Pilgrim Hat Cupcakes

Get in the spirit for the next upcoming holiday with these super cute cupcakes that use Reese's cups as an adorable topper. This recipe is super simple but is sure to impress everyone at your next get-together.


Now, enjoy your treats and use all of your candy possible!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
