SwitchWitch creator Rob Bouley, like a lot of parents, was mortified by the amount of Halloween candy his kids brought home, so he looked for a way to curb the sugar-infused gluttony without ruining the fun and becoming “that dad.” Bouley, who owns an ice cream shop, isn’t anti- treat, he just things are way […]
