How do you "dole out" the candy to your kids once they have finished with TOT?

[npmommie]

Do you allow them so much each day?

Allow them to take any to school for snack?

Give them pieces for dessert?

OR

A free-for-all and they can eat it whenever they want - as much as they want?

AND - how long do you keep all this candy around before you pitch it?

It's a free for all!

DS7 is allowed to eat what he wants of it. What usually happens is he eats all of the Reese Cups and the rest gets thrown out in a month or so.

3 pieces a day for as long as it holds out.

If this year is anything like last year, I will have to limit. My DS2 would go up to a house, get a piece, eat a piece. He had no clue that he was supposed to save it! Anyway, will go thru his bag first to take out anything with PB cuz he is allergic, then put a bowl with 2 pieces in per day.
DD8 will get some thrown in her lunch and will eat some but no inhale it like the baby will!!
Oh, just wanted to add they are going as Harry Potter and Hermione this year!! Harry will be quite a bit shorter than Hermione!! haha

No kiddos here, but when I was a kid, it was a free-for-all... plus my mom would put 3-4 pieces in my lunch. The funny thing was, even though I could have all I wanted, I usually didn't eat much. My mom usually threw some away by Thanksgiving!

This is what I do with my kids I let them eat what they want and we usually give it away in the spring to my mom's candy dish at work.

I don't want to make food a power struggle. My kids usually have more than half of it left by the time we are ready to give it away.
