The Internet comes handy when you look for ideas, like what to do with the leftover candy from Halloween. Nope I can’t bring it to the Thanksgiving table; we would have to wait close to a year for that in Canada. I suppose the main objection is we are not so much candy people as chocolate bar people. And with the boxed chocolate bars come lots of Smarties too. We all like cookies and ultimately that is where the leftover Halloween candy will end up.
