Give it Away.
There are always kids around that didn't get as much or weren't able to go out on Halloween. Just be sure to ask their parents first. We're lucky. A local dentist has offered to buy back the candy at $1.00 a pound. Anything, I guess, for better dental health.Freeze It.
Candy frozen whole, in its original wrappers and placed in a resealable bag or container, should keep up to a year. Chocolate occasionally will bloom (turn white on the outsite), but this does not effect the flavor.Chop It Up to Use in Other Desserts.
Chopped candy can be used in a cookie recipe as a substitute for chocolate chips, coconut, nuts, etc. Sprinkle chopped candy on the top of a glazed Bundt Cake. Other desserts that could accommodate chopped candy are: Trifles, Truffles, and many others.
Save some of the non-Halloween marked candy to put in your guest room for the holidays.
