    LOL, I gave it to my husband to keep at work. We didn't have much at all leftover. I only had one fun size Milky Way on Halloween.

    One way to get rid of leftover candy......check with your dentist.

    There are over 2000 dentists across the U.S. who will buy the candy for $1.00 per pound and they will send it to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Pretty cool!

    I JUST told my husband 2 minutes ago that the candy HAS to go. I have a serious chocolate problem.

    I am with you! The chocolate has to go! I just dont know what to do about it. My nine year old and three year old may never forgive me if I get rid of it though!

    I would love to just give mine away but i have 4 young kids who were so excited to go out trick or treating for them. I don't like giving them lots of it. so they get one treat a day. but that means they are stuck in my house longer than i want them to be. ahhhhhh. I don't have the will power to say no. every time i go into my pantry they are stareing me in the face. I am at a loss as to what to do with them.

    I could see me doing that. I may have to get the hubby to hide the candy. Hmmmmmmm. The only prob with that is my oldest takes one candy for lunch. Well i make his lunch so i need to put it in there. And trust me trying to get the hubby to make the lunch is like trying to get me to stop eating candy. ha ha ha.

    Seriously, just throw it out. Believe me, it isn't wasteful. DUMP IT AND BE GONE WITH IT!

    Buy it from them. That way they feel like they are getting something for it. Doesn't have to be much 10 cents for the little ones and 25 for bigger items. Or whatever works for your family. If they brought home 7 pounds, well, you might be in trouble :-)

    I am not going to dump the candy and listen to 4 boys who happen to be 7, 3 and twins that are 2 scream at me. Sorry. And trust me they will not forget that the candy is gone. Um ya they brought home 2 pillow cases full of candy. and believe me. i rely on that candy to give them treats all year. We are a low income family and don't really have the money to pay them for the candy as much of a good idea as that is.

    I've been treating myself to a couple of pieces every night. The kids get one in their lunch every day and one or two at night. Truthfully, I am thankful for these fun sizes and this MFP database so when I do have a treat, I think about it first. My rule is always to log it before eating it!

    I tell myself, "I could have that candy if I wanted to but, I choose not to".
