- Play to your human laziness! If you have a soft spot for Halloween Candy and don't want to get rid of it, put it at the back of the cupboard out of site and when you decide to treat yourself take one and put the rest away immediately, believe me you won't want to make the effort to go back and dig for more.
- Can't handle having the candy in the house?Donate your leftover candy! There are many organizations that will take your extra candy and give it to those who were not able to get their share of Halloween treats!
- Use the candy for arts and crafts! Get creative with your candy and use it for some fun art projects with your kids!
- For that dreaded office candy, make sure you have a healthy snack on hand at all times so when you are hungry you have the mid-day munchies you can go for your snack instead of the candy!
