Use It in the Kitchen:

Freeze it
Throughout the year, add it to milkshakes, sundaes, ice cream and plain cookie dough. (For a quick milkshake, add mini Butterfinger or Snickers bars to ice cream or frozen yogurt and milk—maybe even throw a banana in there, too!)

Bake it into cakes
Try peanut butter cup cookies or brownies with fun size candy bars inside. Or just put it on top of cakes and cupcakes, or stir it into icing. (For more great recipes see Recipe Goldmine.)

DIY trail mix
Open bags of little candies like M&Ms and make your own trail mix by adding pretzels, nuts and dried fruit.

Bring it to the Thanksgiving table
Remember how your mom used to make yams with marshmallows? Try using leftover candy corn.

Adults Only:

Pair it with wine
The chocolate, caramel, nuttiness of Snickers go great with tawny ports and the cookie-like Twix goes well with a smooth Scotch, suggests StarChefs.com, among other ideas.
