Buy Extra Candy This Halloween And Make These 10 Desserts

Every October, comes the night when you dress up as your favorite characters: Spider-Man, Catwoman, and even Guy Fieri or some other food celebrity. You probably also buy and consume lots of candy. Snickers, M&M's, and Hershey's are among the candies that Americans eat most. If on November 1^st, you find a little too much candy left over in your pumpkin-shaped baskets, you can use it to make dessert.  But what if the trick-or-treaters descend en masse and there's barley an M&M left over? Better buy some extra, just in case.  

Have you even had Starburst Candy Corn? If not, this is the perfect dessert to try it in. Just make a batch of vanilla cupcakes and decorate them with this colorful candy corn variation.
