What To Do With All That (Lame) Halloween Candy

Near the bottom of the Halloween candy hierarchy is hard candy. Trick or treating is about going door to door, freeloading off of our neighbors and rating how cool they are by what candy they dole out. Chocolate bars? A-ok. Hard candy? Lame. Just a step up from granola snacks or rice crackers.

Nostalgia Electrics, convinced nobody eats the stuff (evidenced year-round in little-old-lady candy dishes everywhere), has tapped into this realization and given us the Nostalgia Electrics PCM-805 Hard Candy/Sugar Free Cotton Candy Maker. While cotton candy may not be as cool as a candy bar, the fact that this kitchen gadget can transform one sticky glob into another sticky glob has got to be worth something.
