Every year I either buy way too much or way too little Halloween candy. This year, I fell neatly into the "way too much" camp. I had a feeling this might happen given the very cold weather that was forecasted (quite accurately as it turns out) for the evening. We only had 3 trick-or-treaters show up on our doorstep. I gave them each a large handful of candy, but it barely made a dent in our supply. So, this morning I'm left wondering what to do with the surplus. I briefly considered going up to some neighbor's houses and dumping a pile of candy on their doorstep, ringing the doorbell and running away, but that seemed a cruel thing to do because they are probably in the same predicament as I am. My husband suggested (and I am hoping he was joking) that I go stand outside our neighborhood's elementary school and hand candy out to the children. Because I prefer to not get the police involved in my candy disposal, I had to reject this ideas as well. I have also fantasized about the crew from the TV show "Chopped" showing up at my house to film and use up my Halloween candy in their baskets of mystery ingredients. Surely those rainbow Twizzlers or little boxes of Milk Duds can add some creative flair to my next dinner. This potential solution definitely seems like the best option to me, so Chopped stars / crew if you're reading this call me, please.
What do
you do with all of your excess Halloween candy?
