If you have too much chocolate left over from Easter and the kids lose interest or you want them to ease off, here's what you can do. You can cut it into little pieces and freeze it. When you make chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip muffins, or anything else needing chocolate, all you need to do is pull out some of the chocolate pieces from the freezer and you are set! No need to buy any chocolate chips until you are all out of the leftovers!
I buy the chocolate bunnies after Easter, up to 75% off, freeze them. When time to use them we put them in double plastic and pound them with a hammer, break easy when frozen. Grandchildren think it is fun to eat a dead rabbit cake. They know what it is as they help bash them up

Tip: Save Left Over Halloween Candy for Holiday Baking
Archived on 04/21/2009
Now is the time to gather up as much of the uneaten Halloween candy and stash it in your freezer or at least hide it from the kids. Chocolate candy can be used in place of chocolate chips for lots of your holiday baking and other kinds of candy can be used to decorate cookies, cupcakes, gingerbread houses and the like. Going out to buy this stuff later is costly, and by now your kids have had enough sugar overload anyway!
BTW, brush a little clear Karo syrup on your plain cookies and the little candies like Smarties will stick to the syrup as if with glue! Sprinkles or crushed hard candies will stick, too.

You can also use that candy and make your own "blizards" in the blender. (11/10/2008)
