After every holiday, there’s a delightful challenge of having more candy than we can eat.
But fear not, for candy is a treasure that can never go to waste, and we have the perfect solution for all your extra candy.
Easter candies, rich chocolate, and fluffy marshmallows are perfect for adding a twist to other sweets. Putting them in cookies is the perfect solution to reinvent your sweets, make them even more delicious, and ensure they do not go to waste.
I started with two bags of sugar cookie mix to create the perfect cookies. I made the dough, chopped up the candies, and mixed them in.
The beauty of this recipe is its flexibility.
You can make the dough from scratch or opt for a premade mix or dough.
There’s no wrong choice; choose what suits your baking style and complements the candy you’re using. I’d suggest a sugar cookie or classic cookie dough base, but feel free to get creative and make it your own.
After making the dough, I chopped my Easter candy to ensure it would mix well into the dough. I mixed two candies because I had them on hand, and I knew they would go well together. I had Cadbury Mini Eggs and our S’mores chocolate bunny, which were a fantastic combination.
The two different types of chocolate balanced each other well. Once those were chopped up, I mixed them with the dough and popped them in the oven.
Who would have thought that making the “Perfect Cookie” was this easy?
Beyond mixing your favorite Easter candies into your favorite cookie dough, they can also be used as cupcake decorations, mix-ins within your brownie recipes, and even candy salad or as a perfect addiiton to your office snack selection.
Cadbury Eggs have been an Easter classic for as long as we have been selling Easter Candy, and that’s been a very long time!
Many people have discussed how AI is the future of technology and our world.
To test this, I experimented with mid-journey, an AI photo generator, to see if it could create the future we all want to see here at CandyFavorites: a world made entirely of candy.
Now, only some of the images created are great or even close to the candy world of my dreams, but I was able to make a town full of candy, and here it is.
First, when you enter the city, candy trees, and castles topped with sweet treats greet you. Eventually, as you move down the road through the main street, you reach all the candy houses that all the people get to live in.
With houses comes people, and with people comes school! This is why the town has a high school made of sour candy.
School is out, and everyone wants to have some fun; there is the gummy bear shopping mall, where everyone gets the sweetest deals; the marshmallow theme park, where people get a thrill; and the chocolate park, which will never melt even in the hot sun!
Lastly, there is a place for the Candy King and Queen, the Candy Cane Palace.
The best part of this candy world of the future is that it’s all edible!
While this isn’t the world we live in now, it could be the sweetest world in our future.
As a vast candy lover, it was enjoyable to imagine what a world entirely of candy could look like. It would be a sweet world with many good things to celebrate.

For Valentine’s Day, people often give flowers and chocolate. While those are great gifts, especially the chocolate, we have some new creative ideas, especially for some foodies.
This Valentine’s Day, we have both the Kraft Assorted Friendship Exchange Gummies Box and a Kraft Gummy Lunchable Pizza Kit Heart Box.
Both of these feature gummies that are extremely delicious and realistic, too. I had to test whether they fit for Valentine’s Day.
First, I tried all the candies inside the Kraft Assorted Friendship Exchange Gummies box, including Kraft Mac & Cheese gummies, Oscar Mayer Hot Dog gummies, and Claussen Pickle gummies.
At first, I wasn’t sure if their flavors were realistic to the actual food, but once I bit into each, I realized that they were just classic gummy flavored. My favorite was the Mac & Cheese because I put it in a little bowl, which was adorable. All of them tasted the same, but they were fun and unique.
Then it was time to try the Kraft Gummy Lunchable Pizza Kit Heart Box, which I was most excited about because, with it, you get to create your candy pizza!
In the box are many different kinds of candy, including the gummy pizza crust, cheese, pepperoni, and the sauce, which is candy-based.
First, I started by spreading the candy sauce, and then I got to customize my toppings. The combination of all the different types of candy was perfect and interactive.
Overall, these candies are the perfect twist on the classic candies that people give for Valentine’s Day. They are yummy and fun because food is the way to someone’s heart…especially when it’s in the sweetest form.
Elf on the Shelf is a prevalent tradition for families around the holidays, and we adore it!
We also love all the other parodies that have come from it, so we wanted to create our version but with candy.
For each graphic, there is a saying that goes along with it. For example, if the candy were a Zero candy bar with a superhero on top of it, the saying would be “A hero on a Zero“.
However, this is a strictly holiday edition, so think festive whenever you are guessing! Leave your best guesses below, and look for our answers at the bottom when you are done (no cheating!).
Answers:
1. Hat on a Kit Kat
2. Trees on a Reese’s
3. Birds on some Nerds
4. Deer on a 3 Musketeers
5. Liquors on a Snickers
Sour candy is now being used for much more than just giving a kick to your taste buds. You can now use it to kick back against your mental health.
After being a TikTok trend viewed over 2 million times, people are now adding sour candy to their mental health toolbox.
In this video with over 2 million views, a lady shares her own experience with using sour candy to help combat her mental health problems.
Her therapist recommended that she should have a Warhead when she feels a panic attack coming. Talk about an off-prescription use for…CANDY
Other therapists have also recommended this trick to ease anxiety symptoms. Some even keep it in their offices to help clients out during sessions.
This strategy is used as a grounding technique for people. Triggering your senses by having something either sour or spicy can help ease intense feelings of anxiety.
This grounds people experiencing anxiety by trying to ground them within the present moment.
Grounding tactics can stop or interrupt spirals of anxiety. The brain is only adequately equipped to handle one emergency at a particular time.
Distracting the brain can help move the mind from one problem to the problem of the sour candy. As problems go, what candy to choose is a good one!
While Warheads and other sour candies are not solutions to individuals experiencing mental health problems, they can be helpful tools to have on hand.
Other valuable tools include mindfulness strategies to help ground people in the present moment.
Candy is more than just a treat; in this case, it is a tool we can use in our everyday lives to help us out, too.
