If you are at all like me, you are wonder what the H*## am I going to do with all this candy??!! Here are a few ideas that might work for you and your family. - Using plastic wrap and ribbons, wrap one piece of candy and tie with a ribbon, repeating until you have enough to last from November 1-Christmas or Hanukkah and let the kids eat one a day.
- Have your children choose 10 (or 20 what ever works for your family) pieces of candy and then the "Switch Witch" or the "Great Pumpkin" will trade them a small toy or prize for the candy. Donate to the local food pantry.
- Hide some now for Christmas stockings (I do this every year and I have to really hide it or my husband will eat it!) I will do this today, the day after Halloween, before all the "good" candy has been picked over, to make sure we have good candy & to ensure that my kids have the same amount of the same candy!
- Use it in a birthday or holiday party. Most of the candy we received doesn't have anything Halloween on it, so we will be using our this weekend for my daughter's birthday party. She is having a Willy Wonka themed party, so candy fits it!
- Trade in your candy at a local trade and get $1 a pound! The candy is then shipped overseas to our troops to eat and give to children there. Check out Halloween Candy Buy Backs find a participating office near you!
