I was wondering if you get a lot how long you keep the candy for. Do you throw away the rest? We have so much. We only went to about 50 houses, but I have 3 kids so it added up.

I usually keep what I want them to eat and take the rest and distribute it to work, friends without kids and such. My kids put all their candy together into a big bowl in the kitchen.

It depends a lot on the type of candy and how it is wrapped.
Chocolate bars and other 'melty' chocolate should be kept in the refrigerator after the first day or two.
Hard candies will last for months because of the high amount of sugar in them.
However, after a couple of weeks I would toss EVERYTHING just because Halloween is so OVER.
Let's move on to Thanksgiving and then Christmas in their own seasons, ok? :-)

Valentines Day (February 14) is our cut off... anything that's not eaten is trashed... (Usually about 3/4 or more of what the kids get).....
I use Valentines Day because by then the candy is going stale, and it's a very visible easily remembered date for the kids and us..

Most likely your kids will eat the candy before it goes bad, and candy doesnt go bad too easily.

How long can kids live without food? Throw it all away and break out the handcuffs. Go on vacation and come back in 3 months...

I pick out the good stuff-like the chocolate :) and then take the rest to work or just throw it out.

I would say let each of them have about 2-3 pieces a day or whatever you want. After about a month you should throw it out becuase its probably bad.

About 3 to six months, I confiscate most of it and put the rest in their lunch every couple of days.
