What To Do With Your Kids’ Halloween Candy

I joined some other nutritionists to talk to The Food Network about what to do with the buckets of candy your kids bring home on Halloween:

“The last few years Halloween has fallen on a school day, so my children collect copious amounts of candy as they trick or treat over a mile and a half home,” says Maya Feller MS, RD, CDN is a Brooklyn, NY based dietitian and the author of The Southern Comfort Foods Diabetes Cookbook. As a family, the Fellers have agreed that they can eat a reasonable amount of candy over the duration of the walk home. “At home, the kids sort the candy and are able to keep 15 of their favorite pieces for later consumption. We then bring the remainder of the candy to our dentist’s office for a prize,” explains Feller.
