What to do with all that candy?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You may be left with pails, or even pillowcases, full of candy! Instead of letting the Halloween extra candy eventually be consumed by your children, or even sneak a few pieces for yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve listed a few ways to put it to good use:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Donate it to a local children hospital or shelter<\/li>
  2. Give it to Operation Gratitude<\/a> or Operation Shoebox<\/a> which will send it to our troops overseas<\/li>
  3. Donate to Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Ronald McDonald House Charities<\/li>
  4. Buy-back.  Some local dentists buy back candy from children for a prize<\/li>
  5. Bake with it!  Save it and use it for the recipe below during the month of November during Thanksgiving.<\/li>
  6. Decorate gingerbread houses in December<\/li>
  7. Give it to Military or First Responders<\/li>
  8. Freeze it and save it for later<\/li>
  9. Add it to gifts<\/li>
  10. Bring it to the office<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    All are very good ideas to do with your Halloween extra candy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
