One of the best things about Halloween is that you end up with a surplus of chocolate and candy that you can use in baking. Leading up to Halloween, it's oh-so appropriate to make things like cupcakes, cookies, and brownies with pieces of chocolate candy bars. After Halloween, you'll have so much leftover (if your kids are good at trick-or-treating, that is) that you won't know what to do with it all. Every year, I do the easiest thing: bake my favorite brownie recipe and throw a little slice of a Snickers bar on top. To be quite honest, the addition makes you look like a rockstar in the kitchen, even though you didn't do much. You can even cheat and use a mix out of a box, but if you're fancy like that, you can use a recipe from Epicurious for Candy Bar-Topped Brownies that use caramel or ganache-filled squares as toppers.
