Carefully remove the wrappers from the candy and recycle the wrappers. Then dissolve the candy in water and water your lawn with it. It will feed all the microorganisms in your yard and they will bless you!!

If you’re in DC the Children’s Inn at NIH might take it

I went through & saved all the packs of M&Ms for movie nights because I make popcorn with mini marshmallows & M&Ms.

Some we can use for decorating gingerbread houses

Some we will eat


Ooh. The gingerbread house is a great idea.

Make the leftover Halloween candy cookie dough and freeze.

You can freeze it and dole it out throughout the year.

I bought candy I like since I had a feeling there wouldn't be as many kids out. I was right. 2-3 pieces a day is my limit. Yummy!

If you have any friends who are doctors or nurses, ask if they'd like to take it for work.

No idea about charitable organizations, but if you can’t find one, there are plenty of people who still have to go into work. Find a friend or neighbor and send the candy with them.

We have an abundance this year; in part because we bought too much to give out, and due to our DC bringing home more than expected from trick or treating. Normally, I would unload it at the pantry at my office, but I don't have that option this year.

Are there any charitable organizations I can donate this candy to? Hospitals for children who couldn't trick or treat, or to send overseas to our troops, homeless shelters, anything? I'd hate to just throw it out.

Thanks.
