They dump it all together in one basket that sits around for the first week or so. They take a piece in their lunch box, and another after school and or after dinner. Once the favorites are eaten [Reeses's pb cups, snickers, kit kat and twix] they lose a lot of interest. <br /><br />I save the unwanted candy to use to decorate gingerbread houses for Christmas. We don't usually eat our gingerbread house anyway. <br /><br />This year, for the first time EVER in all my life... I have not had a single piece of Halloween candy. NOT ONE. Trust me. I am as shocked as you!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-91315010248562466622011-11-04T19:04:20.204-05:002011-11-04T19:04:20.204-05:00Ti, I wanna melt some down for cookies because it&...Ti, I wanna melt some down for cookies because it's just too sweet for me to eat much of often, and if it's spread out more like chocolate chips in a cookie I like it better. No illusions that this makes me healthier or eat less candy, but I'd feel less oversugared anyway.<br /><br />We eat ours but darned slowly. Lasts till Easter when we purge it to get ready for the next influx -1 or 3 pieces a day for the beginning half of November or, then every once in a while (I tend to move it more out of sight, and then it is somewhat more out of mind.)Abbehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990505270454623178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-26559875077603812312011-11-04T07:31:22.663-05:002011-11-04T07:31:22.663-05:00Our son was never all that interested in trick or ...Our son was never all that interested in trick or treating or candy, so this was never an issue for us. He would trick or treat for a couple of blocks and then say, "I'm done.

We reaped large amounts of chocolate and our neighbors bought the same big bag as yours-we have an excess of Whoppers, etc. <br /><br />Groovy Girl gets to take a piece each day in her lunch and some after school. If I don't let her eat some I think she will grow up and be a candy-aholic!Peaceful Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10265198438524420667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-84641920671113134242011-11-03T14:39:45.490-05:002011-11-03T14:39:45.490-05:00The title of this cracks me up.

Usually by about February, when it was the just the no-brand hard candies left, we'd dump it.Janssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13178196211079230972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-66990153979584458742011-11-03T13:29:44.225-05:002011-11-03T13:29:44.225-05:00After my kids weeded out what they didn't like...After my kids weeded out what they didn't like(this got rid of quite a bit), they could eat a couple of pieces a day.(lunch, snack, dinner). They also brought some to school for the school collection to donate. They each had their own bowl. I, of course would steal the chocolate candy. I had no daily limit! One of my kids was a saver and never ate it, I would find it in a drawer months later. What was still hanging around after a few weeks would get tossed. When they were very young I disappear a lot of it so they had very little in their bowls. After a few days they seemed to lose interest in it, wish I was that lucky.Elisabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-33726473738372570132011-11-03T13:20:52.024-05:002011-11-03T13:20:52.024-05:00Snickers in the freezer.

I would pawn it off on my siblings after picking out the few things that I liked. As an adult, we don't get trick-or-treaters, so I don't have to buy any candy and worry about leftovers!Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-6904698047490461442011-11-03T12:20:27.468-05:002011-11-03T12:20:27.468-05:00You blog hates me!

I either can't click over from Google Reader, or any reader or once I get here, my comment floats off into the ether somewhere. <br /><br />Sometimes, I get lucky. <br /><br />Candy. We have way too much so I immediately halve it, and take the other half to work. Kids are allowed one piece a day. Then in 2 weeks, I halve it again. I continue to do this until it's gone. I work at a University so there are always plenty of students to eat it. <br /><br />I saw a bunch of recipes that melt the stuff down for cookies, etc. That doesn't really make sense to me. You are still eating it, just in a different form.Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926060806244061354noreply@blogger.com
