Use Halloween Leftovers for Ice Cream “Casseroles”

Here at Cold Cow, we love the fall just much as everyone else. But we’ll be honest: During this spooky Halloween season, we can’t help but feel a little left out in the “cold” when candy gets all the attention.

When you get home from trick-or-treating this year with a giant bag of Halloween candy, save some of that candy for a special ice cream treat!

Whether you’ve got some super premium Cold Cow Udderly Vanilla, some How Now Brown Cow chocolate ice cream, or another flavor that might work, here are some special ice cream snacks to help you make the best use of all that leftover halloween candy. If you find yourself with leftover candy corn, candy bars, or virtually anything else, try one of these fantastic recipes:

Halloween Leftover Ice Cream

Perhaps the easiest way to use your leftover Halloween candy is by making a Halloween leftover ice cream sundae. For this, all you’ll need is some ice cream (preferably vanilla) and some leftover halloween candy.

Makes: 1 quart

What You'll Need:

• 1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
• 2 cups chopped leftover Halloween candy

What To Do:

1. Place softened ice cream in a large bowl and add candy. Stir, letting ingredients swirl together rather than being totally blended.
2. Place in an airtight storage container. Seal and freeze at least 3 hours, or until firm.

Candy Bar Cooler

If you’re looking for a more drinkable snack, consider making your own Halloween candy-inspired milkshake. This one is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth:
