I found a site with a great idea on what to do with leftover candy from Halloween.

A Gingerbread Christmas Church needs stain glass windows. Crush suckers and sprinkle different colours while baking the walls with windows. Be sure to put wax paper under the window or the candy will stick to the pan. Cut a small hole in the back so a light can be inserted to make the most of your beautiful stain glass.
