Children leave their candy in a bag at the foot of their bed and while they sleep, the Switch Witch visits, exchanging the candy for a toy, money, book, gift card, or some other coveted treat that isn&#8217;t as bad for your teeth. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.parents.com\/holiday\/halloween\/traditions\/too-much-candy\/\">Parents.com<\/a> has some hints if you&#8217;d like to learn more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Candy buy back<\/strong> Dentists know that exposing those pearly whites to the sticky sugar in candy is bad news, and even though it is good for their business, they would rather your kids keep their teeth healthy and not face the pain of cavities. In town a few dental offices are hosting a candy buyback in the spirit of the Switch Witch but without the secrecy, trading candy for something less detrimental to your oral health.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Donate it<\/strong> This one is a bit problematic, admittedly. If the candy is too unhealthy to keep in your house, is it kind to donate it somewhere else? On the other hand, everyone appreciates a treat sometimes!\u00a0 I&#8217;ll leave you to debate the ethics, but if you know some starving students or artists, they are probably very eager for some treats. You might also find eager recipients at a shelter or drop-in centre. Call ahead to make sure they can use it though!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_109454\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-109454\" class=\"wp-image-109454 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/edmonton\/files\/2017\/10\/baking-cookies-e1509463887735.jpg\" alt=\"10 Ways to Deal with the Halloween Candy Conundrum\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/edmonton\/files\/2017\/10\/baking-cookies-e1509463887735.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/edmonton\/files\/2017\/10\/baking-cookies-e1509463887735-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.familyfuncanada.com\/edmonton\/files\/2017\/10\/baking-cookies-e1509463887735-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-109454\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Transform your extra candy into holiday baking!
