Idea for Halloween candy

I just wanted to give you and an idea on what to do with all of that left over Halloween candy that you are going to have or will acquire this weekend. Or even encourage you to pick up some candy this week with the great deals and match ups you find!

Each year my boys have school conferences within the first weeks of November so I like to send a conference survival pack with my boys for their teachers. I just fill a ziploc bag with all sorts of different candy, a cute little tag saying "conference survival pack", and a little note thanking them for all of their hard work! Who can't use a little chocolate when they are up meeting with tons of parents for a week straight and even staying at school into the evening and night hours?!!

I hope this gives you a fun, encouraging idea to get that extra candy out of your house and bless someone with it!!
