Can you just chop them up with the chopper and use them for chocolate chip cookies? YUM!!!!
 
I saw a recipe for a pumpkin pie w/ chopped candy bar as a topping. Looked pretty good. I would just chop them up and use them to top bar cookies, pies, and in choc. chip cookies like Kristin suggested.
 
I'm at work, so I can't verify this, but I thought there was a recipe in the Salads Cards (now discontinued) that had apples and chopped candy bars. Obviously, it was a dessert "salad".

Chop them up and make cookies or use on dessert pizza.
Put a layer of Snickers pieces in the bottomof a cheesecake. YUM!!

Or I'm always willing to accept any leftover candy that anyone wants to send my way. It's how I maintain my figure. :D
 
With snickers and milky way, I would freeze them first otherwise the caramel in them will gum up the chopper.

Then chop them up and use them instead of choc chips for cookies. YUM!
 
using the candy bars for cookies is a good idea, although our candy doesnt last long here at our house especially the chocolate
 
I WISH I had the chocolate leftover..all we have is the dum dum suckers, hard candies and the weird stuff you get in those giant assortment candy bags from the $ store and WalMart....any recipes out there using suckers and pixie sticks?
 
Chill the chocolate, chop it up, and sprinkle it on your ice cream!

Edited to add: Or you could just send it to me! Need my address?!

Make window pane cookies with the hard candysmash up the hard candies with your meat tenderizer. Make a cookie frame with sugar cookie dough. (Use two different sized heart shaped cookie cutters, for example, and cut one inside the other, then take out the middle bit of dough to leave an outline of dough.) Put the cookie frame on a stone covered with parchment paper and fill the open area with different colored hard candy bits. Bake it until the candy is melted and the cookie is done. It is beautiful! If you make a hole in the top of the cookie, you could freeze some and give them away as ornaments.
 
If you happen to have any chocolate left still... This is my new favorite. Take a block of cream cheese, top it with half a container of caramel apple dip the spinkle the top with chopped up candy bar. Serve with wedged apples. It is SOOO YUMMY!
