Finding creative ways to get rid of Halloween candy can be difficult unless you think outside the pumpkin (um, box). If you've bought bulk wrapped Halloween candy, you're likely to have some sweets left over from the night of trick or treat. Just because it's in the house doesn't mean it has to be in YOUR tummy.
If you've bought bulk wrapped Halloween candy and have the gum and lollipops left over, trade up as soon as possible. Ask your friends casually how much Halloween candy they have left over then try to convince them that chocolate is horrible but tootsie pops are better. If you're a kid, start grooming your younger brother or sister early to like lollipops so it's easier to get to their stash of chocolate candy in trade.
Make individual desserts in shot glasses and add in small pieces of chocolate candy. Use peppermint pieces for Christmas dessert shooters (peppermint, chocolate pudding and angel food cake layered in shot glasses). See resource section below for the Top 5 Dessert Shooters.
Sure, your colleagues may hate you but misery loves company. If you can't be thinner, make your colleagues fat. Put it in a pretty bowl and give it to a coworker you don't care for. See resource section below on how to get along with a coworker you hate.
Invite company over for a post-Halloween dinner and use your leftover Halloween chocolate candy as a fondue. Set out angel food cake, banana slices, or strawberries and have at it.
Have your children take the bulk wrapped Halloween candy to school and give to the teachers to dole out as treats for the next few weeks. Teachers will love you and your kids may become more popular.
For the 6th way to get rid of bulk wrapped Halloween candy, freeze it and use it throughout the next few months as a treat.
Ah...mine never gets very far from my mouth, I'm afraid.
One thing I miss about working in an office is having a place to dump my leftovers. Now I work from home and I'm stuck with them. Thinking of filling a cornucopia and ditching it...errr....bestowing it upon my sister's home this Thanksgiving.
