National Candy Day is 11/4! Repurpose Your Left-Over Halloween Candy
With Halloween officially over and National Candy Day quickly approaching, I wanted to share a couple of great candy hacks/crafts that can be easily done right at home! These tips are via TheSoul Publishing – an award-winning publishing co. behind one of the top five YouTube channels, 5-Minute Crafts.
- DIY Candy Despenser: If you’ve got some left-over gumballs or M&Ms from Halloween, try making this easy candy dispenser! Take a red Solo cup and an empty mini sized water bottle. Line the upside-down water bottle up with the bottom of the cup, trace a circle and cut it out, creating a hole in the cup. Next, cut out a half circle and slit on the front of the cup, removing a piece of the cup. Using a push pin, place a small circle in the cut-out piece and attach to the cup from the inside. Next, cut out ¼ of a full-sized water bottle and place inside of the cup, acting as a landing for the candy dispenser. Drop your favorite candy into the water bottle and you’re all set!
- Candy Fruit: Using any left-over hard candies and your favorite fruit, you can make a delicious dessert! Simply cut an apple or pear into slices and lay them out event on a baking sheet. Next, unwrap your hard candies and place them into a zipped plastic bag. Smash the candies up using a rolling pin and sprinkle the pieces on top of the sliced fruit. Place into the oven until the candies have melted onto the fruit slices. Allow them to cool and enjoy!

Calling All Avocado Lovers – National Avocado Day is 7/31!
What better way to celebrate National Avocado Day than with some great recipes? Below, please find some quirky and delicious avocado recipes via TheSoul Publishing – an award-winning publishing co. behind one of the top five YouTube channels, 5-Minute Crafts.
- Fried Avocado Slices: If you love fried foods, this one is for you! Take an avocado, cut it in half, and remove the pit from the center. Next, use a knife to slice the avocado into even strips, then cut it in half at the center. Take the strips and coat them in flour, egg yolk, and breadcrumbs. Next, drop the breaded avocado slices into a frier until golden brown. Remove them, allow them to cool, and enjoy!
- The Ultimate Avocado Toast: Next time you’re craving avocado toast, level it up with this recipe! Take your favorite bread and toast it on medium heat. Cut an avocado in half and mash it up until it is easily spreadable. Spread it across the toast and top with tomato, salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. To take it to the next level, add a poached egg on top and allow the yolk to break onto the toast. Makes for the perfect breakfast!
- Avocado Ice Cream: Next time you’re craving a cold treat, try this unusual ice cream flavor! To make it, add 3 avocados into a blender. Add in whipping cream, lemon juice, honey, and blend! Once everything is mixed evenly, place the mixture into the freezer to let it set. Once it’s frozen, scoop it out and top with chocolate shavings and you’re all set!
