How was your Halloween? How much did you have with your friends and family? We had a great time but now that we are left with are lots and lots of candies. We went for the trick-or-treat game and collected many candies; mumma and dadda’s friends also bought many chocolates and candies along with them.

I love eating candies and chocolates but mumma won’t allow me to eat so many at a time. She says I will have cavities and then I have to visit the doctor’s office. Now I don’t want to do that. Mumma says the chocolates and candies stick to our teeth and germs accumulate over them and corrode our teeth. But what are we going to do with all those chocolates and candies? You have any idea?

I asked mumma and she said we are surely going to find some way out. She said she would use some to make chocolate cake. Christmas is round the corner and everyone is busy baking cakes and cookies. So she can use the chocolates to make cakes….sounds yummy! She will also use some to make the frosting on top of the cake. Dadda said he would ask mumma to make some hot chocolate for us using the milk chocolates. Hot chocolates and cookies; the perfect combination and it makes a great snack for the evening. Mumma loves coffee; but me and dadda are crazy about hot chocolate! Now what about the candies?

Dadda gave us a great idea. It is almost Christmas and it is time to spread love among everyone. So the best way to start spreading love is to donate the candies and some chocolates to the poor and needy children. They are not fortunate enough to celebrate Halloween or Christmas or buy chocolates of their choice. So we will visit a charity and donate some to the children living there.

Mumma has also found some great recipes on the Internet to use the remaining chocolates. I like the ‘banana poppers’ recipe. It is quite simple as well – cut the bananas into pieces and refrigerate for an hour. Then blend them and refrigerate again. Now melt the chocolate in a glass pan and keep aside. Make small balls with the mashed bananas and prick a toothpick into it. Now hold the toothpick and dip the ball into the melted chocolate. Freeze for an hour and the banana poppers are ready! This is a healthy and tasty snack and you can pop it anytime you wish to.

Do you have a lot of chocolates and candies as well? You can do the same thing as we are doing to use them; but make sure you donate some first. Dadda says sharing increases happiness and it also makes you feel good. Halloween is already gone and it is time to start preparing for Christmas. What are you plans for Christmas? Will be going out during the holidays or enjoy while staying back in home? I love the holiday season..hope it never ends!
