halloween candy bundt cake


This isn't the fanciest of posts, but the photo was kind of wild and funky--the colors and all. I had crazy amounts of halloween candy leftover! Not knowing how much to get this year because we are living in a new area, I, of course over-bought AND OVER ATE. I tweeted that I was finished polishing off the peanut M&M's and was going to move onto the Twix.
I did not have dinner Halloween night but am certain I ate a few cups of candy. I had to take probiotics yogurt an hour after. LOL
As of today, the halloween candy, just like Elvis has left the building.

A good friend of mine Scary Mommy said on twitter yesterday: "&#$%@ Halloween Candy!" I couldn't agree more, and I am so glad it's all gone. Now we have to deal with the eating festivities of thanksgiving and christmas. One down, two to go....

If you have leftover candy and want to make a fun bundt cake then head over to Cathy of Noble Pig for the recipe.
I added on a white chocolate ganache to the top of mine.

You crack me up :) We had so many kids we ran out! Pretty cake

I am impressed - no, make that envious - that you had any leftover H'ween candy left! Because of where our home was situated (off busy road, no sidewalks, huge distance b/w houses), we never got any trick-or-treaters. So I only bought 2 bags of candy: one to finish before 10/31 and the other to finish by 11/1!

Love the rainbow colors in this!

I sooo need my Halloween candy to leave the building too. haha This cake look super delish.

Mary said...

You're hilarious!

I, too, am on candy overload!

This, however, looks absolutely wonderful!

I don't get trick or treaters, so I don't buy candy. Right now, I'm not so sure that's a good thing. I'd love to have some left over to make this cake!

I actually dig the LSD-cum-Betty Crocker-meets M & M's look. You know kids will dig this cake...I'm a big kid!

Wow, a great way to get rid of candies! and I like the white chocolate ganache!

Jenn said...

I have some left over chocolate that I will be eating up for the next week. hahaha... Good thing I love chocolate. But I may just have to bake them into something to kick it up a notch. A girl could only eat so much chocolate in one sitting. :) Nice job with the bundt cake!!!

I love this. And it makes me laugh that you bleeped out my tweet! I need this candy OUT of my house-- in another form of junk just won't do. My ass is big enough.

Joanne said...

This is so super pretty! I live in school housing so there was no trick or treating and hence no leftover candy. Bummer. But I bet the CVS or Walgreens around here has leftover candy. That counts right?

That is cute!

Leslie said...

OMG..you have NO IDEA how much Halloween candy is in my house. I would say about 8 pounds worth! And I am proud to say I have only had 1 tootsie roll.

Shelby said...

I am so looking at that one to take to work! lol. I bought tons of candy because I wanted tons of treaters! I had a lot of treaters but still had tons of candy left still!

This is why I remain a single apartment dweller...no things like Halloween to mess up your diet. I do like that cool rainbow effect the candy gives the cake though.

everything looks gorgeous in a bundt!

kickpleat said...

I shouldn't have bought halloween candy because it's only 2 of us & we didn't get any trick or treaters. I like your solution. Ha!

CaSaundraLeigh said...

This is such a fun idea--love the colors. However, I've never had good luck with bundt cakes. They ALWAYS get stuck in the pan. Oh well, I can try again sometime!

Jason Sandeman said...

Seriously SCARY cake! LOL I would love to do something like this. It reminds me of a time someone dared me to do a Smarties biscotti. It worked, but in the end, the biscotti were stained just like your bundt cake.

Maggie said...

The problem with kids is you have to try and be a good example and eat the darn candy slowly. My son's candy stash calls to me hourly even though I have so far resisted its siren song. Maybe I should talk him into one of these cakes!

Krista said...

I have eaten roughly 2000 fun sized snickers in the past 48 hours. They stop being fun at about number 1698.

what a fun cake!

Bridgett said...

You should call it Sugar Overload Cake. My kids would dig this.

kat said...

All those colors remind me of King Cake from Mardi Gras

pajamachef said...

haha fun colors!

linda said...

OMG: the candy has left my house as well!…but, before it left i managed to devour sooo much of the leftovers!!
your bundt looks beautiful…kinda reminds me of a mardi gras king cake!!

Aggie said...

That is a pretty cake! I can't deal with the candy. I put it in a bag and hid it in the pantry. Wish I didn't just tell myself that.

Monica H said...

That's one groovy bundt- love the colors!

Shannon said...

Carolyn Jung said...

An edible rainbow! I love it! ;)

THat looks and sounds perfect! Too bad I ate all my {kids} Halloween candy..hangs head in shame :)

Ben said...

Well, that's an interesting and delicious way to get rid of that left over candy. It sure does pretty :)

naomi said...

ARe you crazy? The cake and photograph are pretty darn awesome! I can't wait to try this, especially since I have a lot of left over Halloween candy.
