What are you going to do for Halloween with all the lovely delicious evil candy? Save up enough calories, or just turn the other way? What's your absolute favorite Halloween Candy? (Snickers here!)

    Luckily my boys are too old to trick or treat, and we live along a highway, so the only ones that come to our house are our neighbor's young boys. I usually do something just for them and that's it.

    Kit kat and twix. Rest isn't worth the calories for me. My kids usually don't pick those though... they like the more colorful junk. I will probably buy those to give away though and will keep a couple for me.

    and that's it. some days I blow it- some days I don't. it is what it is.

    I love Christmas cookies (baking and eating) much more than Halloween candy, so I'm going to avoid the candy. I'm trying to cut a bit before Thanksgiving, so I'm officially in training for cookie season and won't be swayed by cheap Halloween candy. :tongue:

    Going to eat it all (albeit over a few weeks).

    Favorite is Kit-Kat, although don't have any here yet. :sad:

    Oh, and they should be served frozen, also, for maximum enjoyment.

    In with another vote for Kit Kats. I have no kids though, so I will have to make sure I buy extra for the trick or treaters so there are leftovers!

    I love the Cadbury Creme Eggs. They used to be only available for Easter, but now they are out for Halloween too.

    Eat the left overs, a few pieces at a time! Then raid my kid's baskets for more :devil:

    And there had better be some Cadbury's Cream Eggs in there, or I'm going to the store!

    Last year hubby took the leftovers to work for his work mates to have ! Hopefully he'll do the same this year if there is any left - haven't bought as much this year !

    Eh, I eat candy fairly regularly, I don't feel the need to eat a lot of it for the sake of Halloween. Besides, with my anniversary, birthday, and Thanksgiving all surrounding it, those calories are better saved for other delicious things.

    Budget for it and gobble it all up. There's definitely some candy corn with my name on it.

    Snickers for me too. I always keep a few candies at home but bring the rest to work to kill off my co-workers. Just my little revenge for all the office BS. :drinker:

    I don't buy evil candy, only the good stuff, like Reese's pumpkins.

    If I can keep from picking up the candy at a discount the next day like I always have, I think I will be okay.

    I eat and track some, the rest go into work. I burn a few calories with trick or treating with my children so it gives me a little wiggle room. If I go over a little bit (because it is delicious) oh well. On night of splurging on halloween candy isn't going to make me fat, just like skipping it won't make me thin.

    I change my mind from year to year...sometimes I dig in, sometimes I avoid it...depends on the day, the mood, the stress, the moment....whatever I can use for an excuse or not. But I always log it if I have it...unfortunately. Darn journal!

    Eat a piece of two max and trash the rest. The constant temptation will drive you insane.

    I usually eat it in moderation over MONTHS, or I bring it into my jobs and share it with my co-workers. My boyfriend isn't much of a candy person unless it's those Reese's peanut butter marshmallow things.

    I love bottle caps, the colored/flavored and chocolate tootsie rolls, sour patch kids, and milky way dark.
