We have a rule in our house: You can eat all the candy you want on Halloween, and the next day it goes away.
For my kids, this is not a problem, since they rarely eat candy. It certainly isn't off limits, but we don't buy it to have in the house. They eat and get sick, eat and get sick...until bed. In the morning, they have sugar hangovers and happily get rid of the candy.
