      I had one lollie in the middle of a 100 km bicycle ride on Sunday. That's all.

      I had five Hershey's dark chocolate miniatures but that's about it as far as Halloween candy goes. That being said, I got my fill of pumpkin cupcakes from Wegmans, Talenti's pumpkin gelato, and Trader Joe's Pumpkin Brittle this weekend! c; I'll have no problem staying on track now until Thanksgiving gets here and then I'll determine then whether or not I'll be going over on that pecan pie and sweet potato casserole that gets me every year!

      I have about half a bag of almond joys my dad gave me. Been eating about two a day of those.

      My Halloween "candy" is mini Rice Krispie treats and I've eaten more than a few

      I always keep mini chocolate bars in my house. I have one, everyday, with my lunch. 49-80 calories, depending upon which one I have.

      Ate lots on Halloween.

      Going to continue to eat a little bit at a time until its gone. I have 4 bags, so it will last a while.

      I can't stop eating my kids Halloween candy. That's is what is making me go over

      Yes, I got some when it was cheap after Halloween. I'm going hiking in a couple weeks with a couple other people, and it is very dense calories. So I put together 1,000 calorie bags of candy for each person for each day of our 7-day hike. After that, I had some pieces left. I've eaten some to treat low blood sugar, but I just ran out a couple minutes ago to treat a low BG of 40 mg/dl.... too bad I ran out because I'm not sure it will be enough to raise my BG and I'll have to probably add some glucose tablets, which don't taste nearly as good (though they work much faster than candy).

      I have had a few mins for breakfast with my coffee. Actually works great, not much calories but cuts my cravings!

      I have a sweet tooth, and I've been eating tons. But I've also been working out tons, and making it fit my calories for the day.

      No, I have not. Decided to pass this year as it is too hard to fit into my calorie allowance right now. It will be there when I have calories to spare. Admittedly, there is no candy in the house. We don't get trick-or-treaters and no little kids.

      I checked the database for what I normally would have consumed. Kind of freaked me out seeing how many calories my favorites have. In the past I've spent several days worth of maintenance calories in one day on Halloween candy. I knew it was a lot but didn't know how much "a lot" was in numbers - yikes!!

      Last weekend I had quite a bit; last night I pre-logged some and didn't even eat it. Hope that mean I am over it.

      I have and continue to lose weight. We're all different and while some can eat it with no ill effects, others might experience something different.

      Though I'm not sure if that was your concern or not. It was a bit vague but we have different posting style too and that okay. Well, in terms of MFP, that's not actually the case but that's okay too!

      I have small .5oz bags of candy corn my coworker snagged from her son for me. They are locked in my desk drawer at work, and I figured if I ration a few per week they can last me a while.

      I actually didn't eat too much candy this year. I'm not a big fan of chocolate, and that's pretty much all we had left after handing candy out.

      No. My bratty children refuse to share with me, like I didn't give them the gift of life or something. Not even their nasty tootsie rolls. THEY DON'T EVEN LIKE TOOTSIE ROLLS!!

      I'm pretty sure I'm reading sarcasm here.

      My kids have always known they have to pay the "mom tax" in candy for me taking them trick or treating. I liked it better when they were younger though, and were super shy about taking candy, they would just grab anything, and end up with a bunch of things they don't like, which I got in addition to the mom tax. Now they know what they like and only take those. And I get to stare at all the reese's and milky ways in their buckets after I have gobbled up my share.

      Despite having plenty of leftovers and having purchased more discounted candy than I should, I haven't really indulged in the candy this year. It's nice if I've even eaten 500 calories worth of the stuff yet.

      Although last night I did go through the mountain of candy that I have left and made an advent calendar for Christmas with some of them.

      If my candy calendar goes well, I'll just restock it every month for 2016 and by the time Halloween 2016 comes around the candy should be all gone. :)

      Yes but not nearly as much as I usually do.

      I did but I can honestly say that I did very well this year because I did not gain weight from it. The day of Halloween I put some in the deck door but then a couple of days later I put them in the candy jar for others to eat because I DO NOT want to go over my sugar requirement! :)

      I had a bag of peanut butter cups. Sorry not sorry.

      Not me. I'm trying to avoid it for the rest of this year. So far so good.
