Did you inspected all the candy your kids collected and made them surrender all your favorites?  Here is some help, if you want to stay away from those extra calories:

Inmediately either put away (actually, hide them) all your favorite ones or better yet bring them (may keep a couple) to work.  You will be become the next employee of the month.

Save them (in a far away place) to make a ginger bread house that may be worth displaying in your village hall or public library. 

Freeze them (in water will be less desirableand hide them deep in your freezer so they are hard to find.

Used them for your kids next birthday party - They will be great for the piñata or as give away goodie bags.

Give them to your house guests - one every night or pack them a bag for the trip back home.

Any other suggestions?  Hey, this can sparkle great ideas!

All the best!

I only allowed my husband to bring in candy that I did not like.  Also, he could not buy large amounts.  That helped.  What is left over is being sent to my girls that both live out of town.  It is one way of getting rid of it.
