Unless you’re one of the most heavily trafficked houses on the block, you probably have a decent amount of extra Halloween candy just sitting there begging to be eaten. Rather than give in to temptation, here are some great ideas for how to repurpose the leftover treats!
1. Donate it to charity
There are multiple organizations that will accept unopened candy. There are at least two programs where you can donate your candy to troops serving abroad: Treats for Troops and Operation Gratitude.
You can also contact local charities and food banks to see if they accept unopened candy as well.
Be sure to read each organization’s guidelines in terms of donation.
