Friends, I present to you Halloween Candy Dessert Pancakes. The perfect solution to Halloween candy leftovers and even better than candy straight from the bag!
Last week we had our first snow day of the year. Yes. SNOW. We declared it a pajama day and the girls were playing so nicely together – they didn’t realized I took this shot of them in the living room from my office – that I decided a fun Halloween themed lunch was in order. I love to surprise them with things like this when we have extra time on our hands. A snow day provided just that.
First up? Pizza. Not just ordinary triangle sliced pieces of pizza though, our pizza was much more spooky!
Cut into thin rectangular strips – think breadstick size and shape – we had pizza bones for lunch! Give that their father is a physician, lunch conversation quickly turned to what bones they were eating. “I’m eating a leg bone!” “Oooh, this elbow bone is delicious!” It sounds so appetizing doesn’t it? Perfect for a three and five year old.
Pizza bones are fun and all, but I had something else up my sleeve. Now normally, candy of any kind for my children is a treat so what I had in mind was beyond over the top and sure to please.
Pancakes studded with chunks of Nestle Crunch candy bars…
Drizzled with a Butterfinger Ganache Syrup…
And finally, showered with Nerds candy sprinkles. Of course, those were my daughters’ favorites!
