Year after year, I never learn... I always buy too much Halloween candy! I can't help it. I've come from a long-line of Italians who always have way too much food at any social gathering or holiday like Halloween. While we always get a good amount of trick-or-treaters to our house, we always wind up with excess candy. Now add in all the candy my kids put in the "I don't want" bucket," and we have way too much candy for one family to have in their house!
What should I do with my extra Halloween candy? Here's a list of ideas to give that candy to someone who actually wants it:
