Do your children come home with bags overflowing with Halloween candy?  Maybe you didn't have as many trick or treaters this year visiting your house and you still have a large bowl full of candy. 

If you're like me there is always a small pile of candy sitting around our house usually the kind that my children either don't like or are too hard on their teeth.  Try these leftover Halloween candy tips.

Tips for using up leftover Halloween Candy

1.  Check with your dentist.  There are many that offer buy back, and give a surprise for candy.  They will even send the leftover candy to our troops overseas.

2.  Offer a trade.  Let them purchase one large candy bar in exchange for the gummy candies that the dentist don't recommend. 

2.  Use hard & sticky colorful candies for decorating your gingerbread houses or gingerbread people for Christmas.

3. Use them in your desert recipes.  Add M&Ms to your cookies.  Combined Snickers, MilkyWays & Malted Milk balls to your ice cream for a surprise treat

4. Do you make an Advent calendar?  Use pieces for your daily surprise.
