Food Friday: All of that Halloween Candy!

It's time for sugar highs and late nights. It's Halloween. My four year old already has more Halloween candy than he can eat without getting a cavity...and we have yet to go trick or treating. Today, he was sent home with a LARGE bag filled with sweets and snacks.

But what does one do with all of that candy? Don't feel bad about eating some of it. Yeah, it's your kid's candy, but do you really want your kid eating ALL of that candy? Do you have dental coverage on your insurance plan?

Thinking back, my mother used to allow us ONE piece of candy a day. Our candy would last us until Christmas. Chocolate also keeps well in the freezer. And you can always pack the candy in lunches for your spouse as a little treat.

Just don't let your kid eat it all  in one night, like they will want to. Having a kid with an upset stomach on a sugar high is NO fun at all.

Good luck, Happy Halloween and Trick or Eating--I mean treating.
