    Stash.

    We're having a Halloween sugar/junk fest this year. I just bought a big bag of Reeses miniatures earlier and a bag of fun size Snickers. My wife snagged the pumpkin ice cream and pumpkin croissants a few days ago. We'll be picking up some lemon-thyme-butter popcorn and another Halloween/Fall themed pastry.

    We're going to watch a bunch of scary movies and I'll indulge till I can't anymore...and then indulge some more. I'll feel crappy, but oh well!

    Then the next day I'll stash the left overs. Somebody will eat them eventually, or I will the next time I decide to have an indulge day.

    I'll probably devour them all in one day. "Get it out of the way" kinda thing. Huge fan of fruity chew candies like skittles/ starbursts/ gushers / fruit roll ups and can eat boxes of them.

    Trash. My mom bought a bag of snickers and I've eaten three of them today :I lol I don't like keeping sweets in the house cause I'll binge.

    Honestly, I'm surprised nobody said this first, but, we donate ours to my kids dentist, who then sends it to the wonderful troops overseas. I'm proud of my kids for doing it, they're only 4,3,1. I explain to them that there are wonderful men and women who'll get to enjoy it and my kids are happy to hear that :)

    I never met a candy I didn't like :o) So, for that reason, all the candy we're handing out is still in sealed bags locked in my cellar. Will not be broke out until the doorbell starts ringing. And we'd better have trick-or-treaters until it's all gone!!! As for what my kids bring home, I hope to summon the willpower to keep my hands off. Once I start, it's hard for me to stop!

    I will avoid it this year. I have had enough candy, I know what it tastes like and that is part of what made me fat. I can certainly forgo it until I meet my personal weight loss goals, and then I might avoid it after that too.

    I still have Halowe'en candy in the freezer from last year. Feeling pretty smug actually. Maybe that's a NSV?

    I'll eat what I want to. My three year old will take care of the rest. If it's a crap ton I'll bring some in for the vultures at work.

    I'm horrible about bringing vengeance on my coworkers lol I will usually give it for everyone else to have some, and I'm sure my husband will eat most of any candy before I get any...

    Lucky for me though, no kids, and I might have to work so I probably won't really have access to any candy so I think I might not get any this year, but with how my husband is with sweets it's around me all the time so I'm not as tempted but he knows how to get to me with any kind of peanuts and chocolate YUMMMMMM

    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!)

    A middle road: enjoy a small amount.

    Reese's Miniature Peanut Butter Cups. I keep them in a dish at work and have one or two in the afternoon when my sweet tooth gets a craving. Chocolate + peanut butter. UGH! Heaven.

    I don't buy or eat any candy for Halloween. We don't really get trick or treaters where I live, plus I have no kids so there's no point in even getting any in.

    Trash in our house. Or my husband will take it in for his students. I have a 2 year-old, so we trick-or-treat with her, but I don't let her eat the candy (and she doesn't care yet since she doesn't know what it is). I think I will buy myself a small dark chocolate bar and nibble on it for the "treat calories."
