Deconstructed Halloween Candy Recipe - Sweet Genius Challenge?

There are a lot of children in my neighborhood so I buy lots of candy for Halloween. Unfortunately this year Halloween was a very stormy night. I have 3 large bags of candy left. I considered packing bags of candy and distributing it to the neighborhood children. I then thought that this ingredient would make a nice challenge for this forum.

Suggest ways to use or cook any or all of the following candies (all are mini size)

Snickers

Twix

Milky Way

3 Musketeers

Butterfinger

Baby Ruth

Nestle Crunch

Skittles

M&Ms

I will make gift bags but would like creative ways to use some or all of these disgustingly sweet treats.

The challenge is on!! May the Sweet Genius win!!

Good Luck!

Update:

Cookie - I will be making candy bags for gifts. Kathy I like your idea for a skittles martini but I do not like sweet drinks. My sister likes sweet martinis so I will pass this on to her. Thanks.

I am hoping to get some creative ideas to actually make a desert with these sweet treats - not just as toppings or additives. Put you culinary thinking caps on and come up with some really creative ideas.

    I don't think you can make just one recipe: The skittles and M&M's can be incorporated into cookie dough.. The skittles could also be melted down into a fruit sauce that you could mix with other ingredients.

    (I saw them do this on a cooking show) The rest could be combined and melted into sauces, or broken into crumbles to top ice cream or brownies. I saw one recipe for layered brownies that used melted candy as the middle layer. You could serve those with ice cream for a finished dessert. You can also mix crumbled candy into ice cream or cupcake frosting.

    You can actually add skittles to vodka and let it sit for a while and make skittle fruit vodka......if you drink

    The choclates are great chopped up and put inside cupcake batters or on top of ice cream, or in rice cereal treats.

    I would wait for Christmas at your church or at nursing homes and have the children distribute little bundles of candy to the elderly!
