The Halloween season in Amarillo brings forth a ton of candy for the kids.  Keep in mind that you took them to three fall festivals, five trunk-or-treat events, and trick-or-treating on Halloween night. That's a lot of Halloween fun and probably way too much candy.

We all know that after you pick out all the peanut butter pumpkins and cups, and your kids have gotten their 3 pieces per day limit on candy, you have a massive amount left.  What do you do with all that leftover candy? Do you let the kids gorge on it?  Do you throw it away?

Neither! You can sell it! Yep, that's right, you can get money back for all your leftover Halloween candy.

Fun Activities for Kids at the APDO Candy Buy Back

You can earn $2 per pound of candy, but it's only a three-pound limit. So if you have 3 lbs of candy, you'll get back $6. Not only are they buying back candy, but the kids can have a little fun. They will have emergency vehicles on site for the kids to see and talk with local first responders.
