It helped motivate me to do my best,” said Zimmerman.

Halloween recipes consume candy in cookies, sate tummies Students devise fun and creative ways to finish off candy leftover from Halloween. By Kathryn Smith Reporter Eating all of the Halloween candy may become a little sicken ing a few days later. If only there were a way to eat the candy but not have it taste so “candyish.” Since some consider it a shame for all of this candy to go to waste, students began inventing recipes to include their leftover Halloween candy. ‘“When I come home from trick- or-treating, scaring little kids, and taking their food. I’ve got a mas sive supply of candy. Eating the candy plain gets old after a while, so I pull out a recipe and use the rest of it,” said junior Jenna Doss. Doss’s favorite recipe incorpo rates Mini Reese’s Cups into a chocolate cookie. Generations passed down this recipe, an old family favorite, perfecting it through the years. Despite the recipe’s long history, Doss claims the recipe is simple enough for any one to make the cookies. “Well, being an excellent chef, I do make some outstanding dishes. However, this recipe is pretty much foolproof; anyone could make it,” said Doss. For those who require easy in structions, recipes can be a fun way to express their creativity. Complex recipes often lead to mis haps and culinary disasters. “A couple of years ago I at tempted to make a cake with left over Heath Bars. The finished prod uct was not a delicious dessert, but the mutilation of my mother’s fa vorite pan due to the difficulty of the recipe. My point is that just because a recipe sounds extrava gant doesn ’ t make it the best choice for you,” said junior Trey Shalley. According to several students, one must abide by certain manda tory “rules” when preparing their Halloween dishes, such as decid ing which candies to use wisely. “It’s all fun and games until someone mixes Sweet Tarts with M&M’s,” said Shalley. On the other hand, others feel that people should leave candy alone lest they ruin it. How one chooses to use his or her leftover candy all depends on the person. “After my traumatic experience of tampering leftover Halloween candy, I personally believe that it belongs in one place- the refrig erator. This way one can preserve the candy for further snacking,” said Shalley.
