If your household is anything like mine you may find your house overflowing with candy come November 1st. With two toddlers and two full pails of candy, plus whatever is left in the bowl of candy we passed out it's a little too much! To help ease the anxiety of too much candy here are 5 helpful tips you can use to thin out your inventory!
1. Save some for Christmas stockings
2. Add some treats in a care package to the troops
3. Save the chocolate bite size bars for holiday baking
4. Donate it! Think local shelters, nursing homes, youth services with after school programs
5. Look for a buy back program. Some dentist will by the candy. (ex. 1 pound of candy for $1)
*I have also heard about the Halloween Fairy! The kids stash a few of their favorites for later and then leave the rest out for the fairy to claim later that night. The fairy can leave money or a small toy as an exchange.
