Candy Crafts
When your kids come home with hoards of Halloween candy, you have a few options. You can let them eat until their stomachs hurt, ration the sweets for months to come, or turn their Halloween treasures into fun craft projects. Dylan Lauren, owner of Dylan's Candy Bar in Orlando and daughter of fashion designer Ralph Lauren, was here to share some tricks and treats. The closest candy bar to us is in Orlando, but you can check it out online at www.dylanscandybar.com.
