A sweet empanada made with leftover candy? Yes, please! This delicious take on hand pies is easy to make with whatever you have on hand.
Twix Caramel Popcorn
The beauty of adding a little sweetness to popcorn is that you can also add a little bit of spice. Cayenne or chili powder with popcorn? Definitely!

Reminding me of a chocolate version of some of my favorite pastelitos, these puffs are easily stuffed with your favorite leftover candy.
Leftover Candy S'Mores
S'mores are a classic dessert, and I prefer mine with dulce de leche in place of chocolate, some leftover candy and (of course) a marshmallow.
