Wondering if Halloween candy could be repurposed into something useful? Oddly enough I think the people that gave it to my kids thought it was food or something!

depending on the flavour you can use: cocoa powder, nut meal, finely ground coconut, edible flowers (grind in spice mill), or edible rice paper. you could make an unsweet cookie/graham cracker and pulverize that and use the crumbs. you could also coat them with 90 or 100% cacao chocolate. any of these also work for truffles and other sticky little items which are rolled in sugar to keep them separate.
There are two types of people in the world: Those who want to be left alone and those who will not leave them alone.

I'm sorry you found it tiresome but I still think it's an issue parents are wise to consider. Obviously much depends on the individual relationships, one family is not like another. But kids really do value some things very differently than adults do, and they can form bitter resentments in response to arbitrary-seeming exercises of parental power.
