Aiii, Halloween, the thrill of costumes, the worry over the weather. And when it's all over, what's left? A big ol' pumpkin of leftover Halloween candy, that's what, enough to put kids and grown-ups into instant sugar highs every day until, well, Easter, when the candy gluttony starts all over again.

Here some ideas for using up all that leftover Halloween candy, from some of my favorite food bloggers, naturally.
