Found: "Solving the Halloween Candy Conundrum"

One day after the official holiday. I'm guessing at least three since the celebrations started. Are you sick of the candy yet? My kids are still young enough that they don't recognize the candy they gather is their candy. Instead we bring it all home, and then divide it into two bowls. Bowl 1: The candy that is worth eating. Most chocolate, Skittles & Starburst, Tootsie Rolls, a couple of DumDums for Riley and a package of Smarties for Asher. Bowl 2: The candy that will not get eaten in this house. Pixie Sticks, Bottle Caps, sticky candy like Airheads and Laffy Taffy, the rest of the Smarties and DumDums, Atomic Fireballs, gum, and gross chocolate like Crunch bars. The complete contents of Bowl 2 were handed out to trick-or-treaters last night, along with the chocolate bars we bought for that purpose. That's right, in this house we re-treat candy. Do you do it too?

I know Riley and Asher are eventually going to figure out that we've changed the original rules of this trick-or-treating game. When that happens, I'm going to borrow this idea as my back-up plan. stephmodo: Solving the Halloween Candy Conundrum. "The goal was to make tossing out candy both fun and the child's own choice. In no way did we want to manipulate them into tossing the candy..." Brilliant and fun!
