So You’ve Tricked and Treated, Now What?

So you’ve tricked and you’ve treated on All Hallows’ Eve, went to all the best houses for a huge haul knowing that your candy will last you until Christmas. Or even better, you went to a function and took the large bag of unattended candy from the pantry, disappearing into the fog like your one friend who walks home after the hangout, and you never know if they got home until the next day.

Black Licorice

You little psychos who like black licorice can ignore this part… If somehow you end up getting black licorice in your haul make sure to remove it from the basket, take it far far away to the nearest trash, and dump it where it belongs. You’re welcome <3

Oh, and by the way, I know you little freaks probably like Milk Duds too. Chuck those in the trash and light it on fire.

Candy-Stealing Specters

Hide your candy away from the spooky candy-stealing specters. Yes, they’re real, but they’re only after your candy and not you. Don’t worry, they just want a little sweet treat. It’s up to you if you want to give them some or not; if you do though, they might turn into chocolate themselves.

Thanksgiving Turkey

Put all your candy in the Thanksgiving turkey. Just for the gag, put all — yes all — of your candy in the turkey! The family will be impressed and not disgusted at all!

Lonely Lonely Vampires

You can always give all the bad candy to the lonely vampires living in the middle of nowhere. However, if you go…make sure it’s very sunny and just leave it at their door with a sweet little note! Nothing says November better than a road trip to the middle of nowhere. Hopefully you’ll find a castle and a vampire who will let you in and you can share your sweet treats! But be sure to protect your carotid arteries.
