Halloween has come and gone. What to do with all that candy! If you are like me, you do not keep it around the house. Here are some ideas:
- As I said in my last post, take some baggies, decide how many per child to keep, then make one bag per child per X number of days. Put a few of their favorite candies in each bag. Then once a day you can sit down together and have a candy feast. The rest depose of.
- Take it to work, but set it away from your desk.
- Let your spouse take it to work – then you won’t have the temptation.
- Get some more bags and put some candy in each bag. Tie the bag with a ribbon. Take your kids to a nursing home and let them give it out to the people there. You might want to call the nursing home first to arrange the visit.
- Feed it to your neighbors dog. (No, don’t do this – chocolate is toxic to dogs).
- Throw it in the outside trash can when the kids aren’t looking.
- Let your hubby have his friends over for a football bash – set the candy in the middle of the guys. That should take care of it! (Sorry guys).
There are any number of ways to get rid of the candy – use the caramels and tootsie rolls in a batch of brownies, put them on the top and swirl them through. Hard candies you can grind up to use as sprinkles on a cake or cookies. Even keep suckers as rewards for your kids when they make their bed and clean up their room.

Feed it to your neighbors (sic) dog? Chocolate is toxic to dogs. BAD idea… or just cruel.
@Kayt I didn’t know chocolate is toxic to dogs. I was thinking about the hard candies. I guess that isn’t a way to get rid of it. Thanks for pointing that out. Joy
Great ideas! I keep the candy until after the holidays because we use it to build gingerbread homes, buildings, villages…whatever suits you. All depends on how much fun you really want to have with it. It’s a lot of fun to see the kids get creative with their homes. One of my kids did theirs out of graham crackers and cake icing as the glue. She build an entire village with all the candy.
