While growing up we were able to keep it and eat it at will. At home I get the boys to dump it in the middle of the room, I take out suckers and the gross candy or anything that is open and toss it in a bag and throw it away (suckers are banned at my house)
Chips get taken out and put in a special box for lunch snacks, along with bear paws or granola bars, anything snack like that could make the treck to school.
Chocolate and any other treats except for gum go in a bowl and the kids can help themselves in moderation. We ususally buy some of the big bags of chocolate after Halloween as it is EXTREAMLY cheap, so the kids really don't care.
Gum goes with me to work with some left in the house, but generally I don't let them chew much gum either. Connors better at not swallowing it now but still, I dunno.
