Another Halloween has come and gone. How much candy did you eat?
My Dad always called the day after Halloween, "Belly Ache Day." The belly ache came from eating too much candy the day before (Halloween). I never suffered on Belly Ache Day. I was allowed a few pieces of candy on Halloween, and then the rest of my candy was squirreled away by my mom, never to be seen again. I think she probably threw it all in the garbage (Thanks, Mom).
If you have some energy and are looking for some ways to use up that Halloween candy (besides hiding it or throwing it away), check out my recipe for Halloween cupcakes. You can make a few batches and give them out to the neighbors. You can always donate some candy to a food pantry or bring candy to a nursing home (the seniors love getting the candy as a bingo prize!). There are local dentists that collect candy, also.
Here's hoping that you aren't suffering too much on this Belly Ache Day!
