1. Put the candy that your kids collect from trick or treating in a container and hide it in the pantry or a cupboard that is out of site. Make it more difficult and it will deter you; making you work hard for it, heck by that time......it doesn't sound so good! Plus, put the scale right in front of the cupboard, pretty sure you will just walk on by when you see that little piece of digital plastic glaring back at you!
2. Find out if your dentist has a "trade-in" program where your kids can trade-in their candy to get prizes or money.
3. Donate treats to local food banks or charities.
4. Make a cute candy dish for the employee lounge.
5. Pack candy in moderation in your lunch once or twice a week for a dessert OR find neat recipes to use the extra candy on. Such as these, Cocoa Loco Krispymallow Treats, Candy Corn Custard, mix candy corn or chocolate candies with fat free popcorn - sweet & salty, make a healthy trail mix with cheerios and raisins, and M&M's, crush up and use as pudding toppers, or mix M&M's in oatmeal and have a colorful breakfast!
