How much Halloween candy do you end up eating yourself??

Whether you take the candy from your kids' stash, or you eat a fair chunk of what you've bought for the trick-or-treaters, how much candy do you end up eating around Halloween yourself??

I have to say depending on how many kids show up wanting candy, adult at my house end up eating about half the crap every year....

It's my first Halloween at this address, but my neighbors say we don't get many trick or treaters. I bought two bags. Maybe I should pick up some more, just in case.

I always buy a bag of Reese's (my favorite), then hide them where noone can find them. After the trick or treating is done I stay up all night with a good book and snarf those babies down.

I knew I shouldn't have bought my candy so early. It's almost gone and now I have to get my ass back to the store for more. I have NO willpower.

And then ..................................... the second piece.

But I swear the third one is the very last, no, really.
