I just found a pie crust in my freezer, and the local supermarket has a huge amount of priced-down candies on sale...hmmm, yep, this is going to work for Friday coffee break. :)

My left over goes to the local hospitals ER breakroom. It does'nt last long there.

hey! I saw this a few days ago and searched and searched for it so I could make it today! You might add a tag just called Candy Pie to make it easier for folks to find it. I finally remembered you calling it leftover halloween candy pie and thats how I finally found you!

Love the pie!

I am of two minds on the 'do you need change' thing. For each of us who are frustrated to be asked, there are others who get frustrated when the waitron brings back what is clearly a tip--they want the service interaction to be over when they've paid. If the server asks, then she can leave the guests to linger a little while longer or cut and run out of there.

Sure, the server may be trying to cut down on one more trip to the table--or trying to keep out of the way of the table. The server may ALSO--depending on the size/dynamic of the group be asking whether anyone needs particular bills broken down. If everyone is chipping in, someone may need to break a $50 or a $20 to make their share equal, or to make a tip. It may be less frustrating for the server to ask than to whisk it all away while the table may be engaged in conversation, only to have to do it again when the change is returned.

I just think that it's an attempt at clarity that is not necessarily always about servers running to the back and pocketing tips while running their greedy little hands together. Sure, there are other ways to do it...but perhaps we shouldn't ascribe nefarious or greedy intent to the question.

This list is great...and the one about the specials is dead on!

Always explained but price never quoted which usually ends up being higher than a regular entree on the menu.

And also the change thing is classless....what waiter thought this was a good idea to ask if you needed change???

It's a sign of laziness in all honesty;"I want a tip but I don't want to have to come back to your table to get it!"

I have many pet peeves: no prices on specials. Ditto to all the rest

I think there needs to be a salty balance to make this perfect...maybe a crust made from crushed pretzels! While I'd never make this (so I say now), I think it's a fun idea for a party or gathering!

It might do better to add Halloween peeps in the mix and avoid anything that has a hard candy shell or anything that IS hard candy. Otherwise you WILL be making a trip to the dentist!

Sorry, but vanilla Tootsie Rolls are far too precious a thing for this application. Showed the recipe to my honey and he heartily approves. Although this year we gave out Smartees and Dumdums...I don't think those would work so well.

I am so not feeling this, though admit to admiring that fine crust. But if you're melting leftover candy, why not use a store-bought shell?

My goodness, Pupster. Tone down the sanctimony and bile a bit, or direct it towards a more deserving target, such as big supermarket corporations that throw away tons of unsold Halloween candy rather than donating it.

Cakespy, I think the pie looks awesome in a hangover cure, late night snack attack kind of way, and I definitely write that in a complimentary manner.

The cheesecake itself is decent, but I've never been a fan of that topping. I do like their peanut butter and chocolate no bake dessert.

After reading all the comments about Sandra Lee from the Food Nazies in the 'Dear Food Network' spot, the last thing I would expect to see on this site, is a review of no bake cheesecake. Just so happens, my wife made me a homemade one last night, and it's so damn tasty. Yum.

Still, I've had these no bake versions, and they aren't that bad at all. Good review.
