TOO MUCH! It's hiding in our cabinet right now.
Can't bring it to my work, because everyone got too much candy.

Well, I've posted a LONG response on the Halloween candy.
Christmas - chocolate -- chop up and freeze, use as strusel or filling in muffins, bundt cakes, top cakes for school events, make cookies, etc. It will "bloom" in the freezer, but it doesn't matter if you bake with it, any way you would use chocolate chips. Truffles make make nice surprises in cupcakes and muffins, just push them into the middle. Kids will love them. Valentines day is coming, everyone will be back to eating treats!
Jelly beans, freeze them, then process them to chop into small bits than can again be used as decoration or additions. Peanut brittle is more difficult, sharp edges.
Seriously, freeze everything. Much less likely to munch on chocolate if it's frozen, and if it's chopped up, it's ready to go.
