If you are not careful though, they could be eating leftover candy for months. In addition to the pile of Halloween candy that they likely got from Trick-Or-Treating, you probably also have some leftover candy that didn't get passed out.
And since many kids are already overweight, even an extra one or two pieces of candy a day can be a problem. To keep from adding to any weight or nutritional problems that your child may have, after Halloween, it may help to:
- have your child go through the candy that he got from Trick-Or-Treating, pick out his favorites, and allow him to have one or two pieces a day for only the next week or so.
- pack up the rest of your leftover Halloween candy and use it on special occasions, such as a filler for a birthday pinata, etc.
- give away your leftover candy to a food bank, which although it won't be the most nutritious food they give away, can serve as a treat for needy kids on special occasions.
- use leftover Halloween candy to make a pie or cake, such as this Milky Way Bar Cake.
