(WBBM) -- Kids, don't eat another Tootsie Roll! All that Halloween candy is as good as cash.
A Bensenville dentist will pay a dollar a pound for it.
He's Dr. Cary Blumberg. And he's hosting his third annual candy buy-back program.
He says kids typically get between five and ten pounds of candy.
Whatever he pays to the kids, he says, he makes a matching contribution to UNICEF.
And all that candy is sent overseas to US soldiers.
He'll accept candy all week at 229 West Grand Avenue in Bensenville.
