We went out as a family on Halloween and so by time we returned home, we didn't get any other trick or treaters. Which means I have all the loot the boys received PLUS my own ginormous bowl of treats. I can't bear to chuck it all...First of all that would be wasteful and secondly, It's CANDY for goodness sakes!! But if it sits in my dining room any longer I will turn into a pile of sugar. Seriously, I've had a piece of candy at every meal and for snacks too (who knew that Reese's cups tasted so good in the morning??!). I am on a serious sugar crash----
So what do you do with your leftovers? Throw it away? Hide it? Save it for later? Give it away? I need ideas. Fast.

We put some of our chocolate favorites in the refrigerator or freezer. Then I send the rest to work with Joe the day after Halloween. Usually I get my Halloween bowl back that same night and of course, it's empty ;o) BTW, we want photos of the kiddies. Mine are on my myspace page. Talk to you soon.
I freeze chocolate too. I don't like to eat it frozen, so it's safe until it thaws -- we means I have to premeditate my snacks! We didn't have much leftover, though.
The freezing idea is a good one! I just seperate all my candy out into two piles, chocolate and fruity (and I'll also put gum in its own pile) and then put them in their own ziploc bags & put them in the pantry. As long as its out of constant sight I don't munch on it as much. But I know its there, and I don't have to dig to find a piece of chocolate or whatever!
I usually take our leftovers to church for the youth group. They can always use it as prizes during games, or just because they don't mind having hyper teenagers.
Thanks for all the ideas...I think this is a record for comments for me ;-)
I knew chocolate would get y'all talking!
