Do you have some at home? Is it at work? Are you eating any?

There was candy at the office yesterday. It did not go well.

    Because of the storms up here in NH, our town postponed Trick or Treating until Friday. TOL bought way too much. Hopefully I can resist.

    Our leftovers are sitting on the counter in a bag waiting to be taken to work this morning and donated to our concierge desk upstairs. I work in the basement so there is enough distance from me and the candy to not make it worth my while to go candy dish surfing.

    Out of sight, out of mind does work well for me for many temptations.

    I haven't seen a single piece outside a bag. :)

    Left over fun size snickers 1/2 bag. I resisted but it is DW's favorite so it won't last long. I've resisted so far have had none but DW keeps hershey's nuggets in the counter all the time. Another of her favorites.
    It is a daily test for me which I usually am able to pass.

    Our WW meeting collects it and sends it to oùr troops. We don't live in a neighborhood with young kids except maybe 1 or 2 so we don't buy candy. I had one bite sized piece after my massage yesterday from a bowl there.

    We have a bit, but they aren't my favorites so I put them in my SO's snack cupboard. I already overdosed on Halloween so candy doesn't sound that great

    We had beautiful weather and had more kids than treats..I ran out after one hour.

    I did have two Fun Size Snickers!

    We went through 8 bags in about 1.5 hours here at the house and then ran out... I had wondered if a mid-week halloween would slow things down.. Not even a bit.

    My daughter still has some from trick-or-treating, but she didn't collect much. I do admit to taking 2 bite sized butterfingers as "Daddy Tax" yesterday.

    Man, I have no idea! This year seems different than any other. Very little candy at the office. I think just about everything we bought at home was passed out on the 31st.

    Have not had any kids come to the door here in 4 years, my neighborhood has very few kids and is not really set up in a way that would allow them easy access anyway so I have not bought any candy in 3 years. I keep a roll of quarters handy just in case. One of the receptionists at my WW meeting also collects leftovers to send to the troops, so I expect to see quite a bit of it when I weigh in tomorrow.

    No kids, no trick-or-treaters. No problem.

    I've come to realize all those bags I bought of the typical Halloween candy in years past (just in case the kids showed up)--it really wasn't worth it. We have a close family friend from Switzerland who occassionally sends us good chocolate. Now THAT is worth it! Snickers and Reese's? Not so much anymore.

    Not a problem here. An advantage of living full-time in a place that has mostly part-time (summer) visitors.

    As long as you didn’t really do what Jimmy Kimmel tells parents to do...tell kids they ate ALL their kids Treats! LOL
