Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion to spoil your sweetheart with the finer things in life, whether you opt for flowers or Hawaiian chocolates. However, even those with the biggest sweet tooth can struggle to polish off their goodies, leaving you with leftover candy that gets tossed. Instead of letting the decadent Hawaiian chocolate go to waste, consider the following creative ideas to use the leftover candy.

4 Things to Do with Leftover Chocolates

1. Create a Candy Pie

If you’re looking for a unique sweet treat for date night, make a candy pie with your leftover Hawaiian chocolates. To create this simple dish, mix your excess candy into prepared cookie dough, and spread it into a glass pie dish. Not only does this highlight your unused candy, but it combines two classic desserts: cookies and chocolate.

2. Make Your Own Fondue

Elevate your favorite fruits, cakes, and salty snacks by dipping them in a rich, chocolate fondue. To make fondue using your leftover Valentine’s Day chocolates, break the bar and mix it in a fondue with chocolate chips, marshmallow crème, and heavy whipping cream. Add caramels if you want a silkier finish and more flavor.

3. Make a Sweet Popcorn Drizzle

If you like to combine salty and sweet, making a drizzle from the leftover chocolates is a tasty way to change up ordinary popcorn. In a pan, break up and melt the unused candy with some heavy cream. Once the popcorn is made, drizzle the mixture evenly and refrigerate it so that it can set.

4. Create a Tasty Trail Mix

An excellent way to incorporate a dash of sweetness into your trail mix is to use your leftover Valentine’s Day treats. Chop the extra candy into small, bite-size pieces. Next, take a base mixture of nuts, raisins, and pretzels, and combine the dice chocolates into a resealable bag.
