What can we do with all those sweets? Besides the obvious answer of Mom and Dad eating it as soon as the kids are asleep, there are some other fun alternatives. Your family can have the sweetest jack-o’-lantern on the block by using candy instead of carving to make a smiling face on a pumpkin. And while some candy may be stored away as building supplies for a gingerbread house this Christmas, you can apply many of the same ideas for building a haunted house to decorate your home for Halloween. Wrappers can also become an inspiration for creative costumes. All it takes is a little creativity and some candy and you can use sweets in a way even the dentist will like!
