Leftover Halloween Candy..


Dandelion

Recommended Posts

Dandelion Contributor

Any suggestions of what to do with the leftover Halloween candy? We went a little overboard this year and I don't want to have all this candy in my house.

Hope everyone had a great Halloween!

Take it into work, coworkers will eat it up. Mine always do.

Last year my husbands office collected everyones leftover candy (and whatever they could pry away from the kids) and had it shipped across seas to the military. It was through operation gratitude:

I'm hoping they do it again this year.

One of the teachers in my dd's school is collecting stuff to send to her son's unit in Iraq. She said that she has sent chocolate and other candy and not had a problem with it melting. I personally think this is the best use for it because it gives the guys (and gals) a great reminder of home. The kids are also making cards to send with the candy.

We are giving some of it to the nursing home, they always gladly accept it.

You could give it to the food bank. They would probably be happy to have it. I usually take my extra to work and feed it to my coworkers.

Those are all such great ideas. Thanks for the suggestions!

If you have a kid's club like the Boys and Girls club you could donate it for their 'reward' cupboard. Many keep a cache of small toys, stuffed animals and such for the kids to chose stuff for their own good behavior, study habits, grades etc or as gifts for others.

      In addition to cutting out oats, you may want to investigate any medications or supplements you're taking - they can sometimes contain gluten.  You can check medication ingredients online at sites like DailyMed (www.dailymed.nlm.nih.gov).

      thank yo, i still eat a bit of dairy and a fair amount of processed foods. I wonder if I have sibo... I will look into that

      I think the best you will be able to do is to find out if gluten, or at least wheat, barley or rye is an intentional ingredient in a smoke product and only the manufacturer can answer that question. Since smokes are regulated by the AFT and not the FDA, allergens are not required to be declared in the labeling.

      yes i understand that pectin is gluten free ty.  i want to know if any cigars are gluten free its a simple question

      Welcome to the forum, @brian weinstein! Gluten is a protein found in wheat barley and rye kernels. Pectin is a polysaccharide (a very complex sugar) found in the cell walls of fruits and vegetables. It is most commonly used as a thickening agent in food products, particularly jellies. So, pectin is naturally gluten free. That is not to the same as saying the cigar is gluten free.  Personally, I am reluctant to text you. I think most of us would feel the same way. Too many people already have access to our cell phone numbers.
