We had very few trick or treaters this year. They started early with the small kids and I thought I was being very smart giving each of them a bar of chocolate and a few sweets. The doorbell rang less than ten times so I am now left with a huge amount of sweets. My DC went out as well (I stayed at home to answer the silent doorbell) and brought home even more.
Someone mentioned donating leftover sweets to a food bank. Would they really take random sweets that don't have a sell by/use by date?
Seems a waste to throw so many into the bin.
Next year I will buy far less and throw handfuls at the first ten kids and turn off the lights!
