| What do you do with all of you kid's candy? |

| Let them have as many pieces as they are years old and then drop it off at the office. |

| Let them eat it. Not all at once. It'll last until Christmas probably, but we don't take or eat any of it ourselves. |

| She eats some, I eat some. I gradually throw away what none of us like to eat. |

| My kid is two so we just eat it. When he’s older we will give him a piece or two a day until it’s gone. We will probably eat some of it until he’s old enough to notice. |

| Pretty liberal on 10/31 and then a piece a night until Thanksgiving when it goes out. They have probably eaten all the favorites by then. They share with us too. |

| Let them eat it. One kid got a ridiculous amount this year though, probably 25 lbs. a lot will go to TFT. |

This. One piece in her lunch or at dessert for as long as it lasts, plus more now and again for fun. DH thinks it's wrong to eat DD's candy. I think food in the house is for everyone, and we all walked door to door in the cold. |

They got to pick ten pieces (twenty when they were older) and used the rest to trade for a small toy. DH brought the rest to work.
We are a family with obesity issues and too much sugar is disastrous for us. |

OMG, let them eat it. It's not like it goes bad.
Unless you have a binge eater in the house, I don't see the problem with having a stash of Candy for the kid to pick out of for desserts or special treats. Why even go trick or treating? |

| When my kids were little we let them eat whatever they wanted on Halloween (that usually ended up being 4-6 minis). When they were in pre-school, they forgot about it literally the next day. When they got older, they would take a few pieces to school for about a week. |

| They pick out what they want to keep and have a piece or two a night until it's gone. I eat some of it too. I give away what they don't want in my buy nothing group. |

| We are planning on two pieces a day until all the good stuff runs out. |
