A Use for Halloween Candy

We usually make milk shakes the first Family Home Evening after Halloween.

We have enough candy that I just can't look at any more.

I just want to eat it.  So this was a good way to use it up and be able to fill there lunches.

Recipe

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup shortening

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla

2 eggs

21/2 cups flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 pinch of salt

2 cups of chopped up candy (we preferred the chocolate based candy and we mixed candy too)

Preheat oven to 350

Cream butter, shortening and sugars together.  Add the vanilla and eggs and mix until combined.

In a separate bowl mix flour, baking soda and salt.

Add dry ingredients slowly into the mixer and combine.  Scrape the bowl and add the chopped candy and mix.  Bake for 7-10 minutes until golden brown.
