What to do after too much trick-or-treat

Ok, so you’ve gorged on the Halloween goodies and *think* you’ll cringe if you see another candybar… don’t just store that sugar around your house – or try to hide it from yourself/your S.O./your kids – reuse it!

We’ve got to give Equinox Restaurant credit for the idea of recycling and repurposing Halloween candy at their Repurposed Candy Happy Hour.

From M-F, 5-7 PM this entire week after Halloween, Equinox’s bar will offer cocktail specials like the Jolly Rancher Martini (made with various flavors of Jolly Rancher candies) and the Lemondrop Limoncello (made crushed real Lemondrops). And those Atomic Fireballs that burned off our taste buds? At Equinox’s Repurposed Candy Happy Hour, Pastry Chef Thomas Wellings will mix them with melted chocolate and milk to create an awesome Atomic Fireball Hot Chocolate.

Now those candy cocktails sound twice as nice.
