My company has done this for a few years. DONATE your leftover Halloween candy to the troops. Look up Operation Gratitude. They put the candy in their care packages to troops. FIll up the postal boxes that you can send anything as long as it fits (no weight limit) and send it on. It SO worth it NOT to eat it and to do good with the extra candy. Send a few hand written notes too!
If you do a little research too.. local dentists participate in the program so you may be able to just drop it off at a local location. Most Sunday papers will have a list this weekend.

A dentist in Vancouver, BC, Canada is offering to buy candy by the pound and then will donate it. Story is here: http://www.vancouversun.com/news/canada-in-afghanistan/Dentist+candy+from+trick+treaters+good+cause/5607778/story.html0
