I love the idea of having the Tooth Fairy come in with a small gift in exchange for the candy. I think I will use that. That is great that you can use leftover candy for birthday party gift bags. My son's birthday is in April, so that probably won't work. ha ha Thanks for the idea! I love the idea of having the Tooth Fairy come in with a small gift in exchange for the candy.

Candy that they get on halloween night is given to the candy fairy (they may keep how ever old they are in pieces of candy, so my 7 year old keeps 7 this year). The candy fairy then leaves a gift in place of the candy. She has been stopping by our house since Kenzie was little. Any candy that is gotten before halloween night is used for a countdown to Thanksgiving. They get to punch out the tissue paper covering the cup and take the piece of candy each day all the way to Thanksgiving. It works nicely to spread out the eating of the candy and no arguing. We do the same with gumballs and junky candy. I prefer that chocolate be kept, since its a little better for your teeth than lollipops. But we use lollipops for airplanes, long car rides, or any other time we need to bribe the kids to be good for an extended period of time! I like your idea of using the candy in other treats. I plan to try that this year! .-= Mandy Mayzum´s last blog ..<a href="http://a-mayzingus.blogspot.com/2009/09/superload.html" rel="nofollow">Superload</a> =-.

Thanks, Micki, for bringing back great memories of dumping the Halloween candy and going through it. I'm the 4th of 8 children and the amount of candy that came into and out of our house when we were of Trick-or-Treating age was phenomenal! Great idea to use the candy in other things throughout the coming months. I'm thinking of what would look good on a gingerbread house, and hoping my kids get at least a small stash of that kind of candy this year!
