You've picked out your favorites, but what do you do with the leftover Halloween candy?
At least three dentists in the Valley will buy the candy from you.
J. Phillipp Dentistry in Chandler will purchase it and have it shipped to American troops to give them a "taste of home." They are hoping to collect 500 pounds of candy this year.
For every pound of candy, the dentist will pay $2. There is a limit of five pounds per child.
Candy will be collected from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. on Nov. 1. The office is located at 3230 S. Gilbert Road, Chandler, AZ 85286, near Gilbert and Queen Creek roads.
