Halloween is so much fun, but "tricky" when it comes to managing massive quantities of candy/sugar.  Here are some tips to dilute the effects:

• Consider play dough, stickers, party favors or trading cards for younger kids.  
• Have your kids "trade the candy in" for something else - like a book or a toy (lego).
• Put the extra treats out of sight.
• Divide some of the leftover candy into portions and put in snack baggies.
• Keep a small amount and throw the rest away. 
• Take excess to work or group meetings. 
• Smarties advertise that they use “No Artificial Colours”
• “Florida Naturals” makes snack size natural sour treats.
• Don't buy Halloween candy early. 
• Skip the Halloween candy sale on November 1st.
