One family does science experiments with leftover Halloween candy (found via Sac Bee). Watch the Nerds dissolve in water, check the acidity in Lemonheads, watch the edible ink on M&M's and Skittles float off — intact, and more. Sounds fun!
Here are six more ideas for getting rid of or using up the leftover Halloween candy.

- Save Lollipops for Bribery: Stash them in your purse or the pantry. It's true. My boys will do almost anything for a lollipop.
- Better Yet, Potty Training Bribery: CafeMom jess_diva says, "candy she accumulated in the half hour she trick or treated will be used as potty rewards." Hmmm, nothing else is working for my 3 year old...
- Toss It, Eat It, or Recycle It?: CafeMoms get pretty fired up in this debate.
- Donate Your Halloween Candy: Several organizations accept leftover Halloween candy and use them for a good cause.
- Save It for the Holiday Crafting: Use those Dots for your gingerbread houses and other craft projects.
