If you've got more Halloween loot than you know what to do with and you're pretty certain you don't want the little candy grubbers in your household eating all of it, you can turn it into cash and a donation.
Started by a dentist, the Halloween Candy Buy Back program lets kid take their excess Halloween candy into participating dentist offices. Kids are paid $1 per pound of candy they bring in and the candy is given to Operation Gratitude to be put into care packages sent overseas to deployed US troops around the globe.
Check out the link above to search for participating dentists in your area. Two things to keep in mind: First be sure to call the office and see when they are accepting candy, as the event doesn't have a completely standardized time across the country and second, most of the site is geared towards the dentists participating in the event, so don't get confused if while reading you suddenly feel like you're the one accepting the candy.
