Donate it
Nursing homes, doctor's offices, and women’s shelters - everyone loves candy, and spreading the sweetness can be a great way to avoid gorging on it all yourself.
Send it to overseas troops
Chocolate may not be the best idea, but other candy is appreciated as a part of care packages for the troops (US only, not sure about other nations' deployments).
