With Halloween just 2 days away, I'm already anticipating the truckloads of candy that will be coming home with our kiddos. Here are a few ideas of what to do with all that loot!
Use the M&M's for sundaes, trail mix and cookies or other baked goods.

Use Butterfingers for Butterfinger Pie...YUM!

For Reece's Pieces, make this! It is dangerously good! Sweet. Salty. Crunchy. Peanut Buttery. You can't go wrong.

These also look amazing!

We save the hard candy & lollipops to add to our Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes.
Got a birthday coming up? Use the leftover candy for this cute Birthday Wreath.

Freeze chocolate candy and save for later snacking or gingerbread house making.
Some dentists will exchange the candy for a small, healthy treat or toy.

You can also donate the candy to organizations like Operation Gratitude, an organization that makes care packages for deployed troops.
How do you handle the overflow of candy in your house?
** UPDATE **
I've had quite a few people tell me about a visit from the Great Pumpkin or Switch Witch. Kids leave their candy on their porch in exchange for small toy or non-food treat. Always Expect Moore has an explanation of the Great Pumpkin here. Have you tried this?
