If you have extra candy lying around the house, don’t throw it out. Candy is a great baking decorator that you can put in cookies, brownies and cakes. Yes, too much candy is bad for your teeth. However, like almost everything else we eat, eating candy in moderation isn’t so bad for us. Besides, who would want delicious treats to go to waste?
A favorite candy indigent of mine is M & Ms. I like to use M & Ms when baking cookies. The great thing about M & Ms is they add color and flavor to your cookies. M & Ms have several varieties to choose from when baking including milk chocolate, coconut, peanut butter, almond and pretzel. My favorite M & M flavor is dark chocolate peanut M & Ms. I love anything that contains some form of dark chocolate and peanut butter. M & M cookies also allows you to add different flavors of M & Ms, as well as chocolate chips for extra sweetness. As a side note, you may want to crush the M & Ms depending on their size. Larger M & Ms may over power the cookie.
You can bake with pretty much any candy you want including Snickers, Milky Way and Three Musketeers. You could even mix a variety of candies together in your batter. Depending on how big your sweet tooth is, you can get pretty creative with candy and baking. To create your favorite candy cookie, brownie or cake use your normal recipe and add in a generous amount of your favorite candy. Deciding how much or how little to put in is up to you. So the next time you are at the supermarket, don’t be afraid to pick up your favorite candy and create something yummy.
