Many of you have either been trick or treating themselves or have leftover candy from handing it out for halloween.

How do you keep from eating all available candy in one go?

How do you portion out just one serving size of potato crisp and then let the rest of the bunch survive long enough to see dawn? How do you do it?

I overbought on candy to hand out to children and now have a larger candy stash than I ever did as a kid

Since COVID, I haven't seen a single trick or treater, so the last 2 years now I haven't even gotten stuff to hand out. I was just lamenting this while walking my dogs this morning, too. I liked seeing all the costumes parade at my door :(

That's too bad. My neighborhood is going stronger than ever. All my neighbors are super into Halloween and we all go nuts with decorations and I give out full size bars too. Rumors spread amongst the children and more come to our neighborhood each year.
