Candy Massacre: Leftover Halloween Candy Pie for Serious Eats
Tuesday, November 3, 2009 
Poor Halloween candy. Just a few days ago it was the star of the supermarket aisle, the festive treat on everyone's mind. But now, just two days later, these sweet treats are Halloween has-beens, relegated to sale bins, withering away in candy dishes.
But is there a way to breathe new life—to re-animate, if you will—this past its prime candy? I propose yes: by dumping it in a pie shell and melting it into one monstrous mash of a candy pie.
This pie was the subject of my weekly sweet writeup over at Serious Eats--why not click over and check out the full post plus recipe?

I find it odd that it looks SO GOOD. What could be bad about that really? A bunch of melted candy in a flaky crust? Sign me up!
Your little pumpkin up there made me laugh and go "Aww!" at the same time. He's too cute.
Ingenius way of using Halloween sweets and treats!!!!!!! Oohh all that melted chocolate goodness...!
Oh. Ma. Gawd.
And I thought my leftover candy bundt cake was creative, this is genius!!! Perfect for any candy lover like myself.
I'm still smiling. Can this possibly be good??? Wish I had tried this back when my kids were little.
Holy crap!
cute!
Good god, pour candy! Reminds me of the toons in Roger Rabbit, trying to avoid "the dip".
How did you like it?
THAT IS SUCH AN AWESOME IDEA!
I would have never thought of that.
Thanks for sharing. I want to try--especially woth Twix .
Yikes! I need to wait until Halloween is a bit more in the past! :)
That is just the coolest! I wonder if my son will mind me raiding his Halloween candy? {I think I might have already eaten all of the chocolate out of it.} :)
I want to hear from someone who actually made this and ate it. How did it taste?
Margaret: I tasted it. It was...sweet. Best when a bit warm.
Wow my dentist would hate me if I ate this!
Holy Fonz!
I suppose this beats fried Snickers. This means you should definitely give the treats you enjoy eating yourself...Another twisted thought to add to this Halloween costume-bag.
This pie is crazy looking!
i have a sugar high just looking at this!
quote unquote my husband who happened to look over at the computer while i was checking out this post:
"OH MY GOD THAT'S AMAZING!!! LOOK AT THAT!!! WHAT YOU JUST PUT IT ALL IN AND BAKE IT!!!!"
heehee!
