What can I do with chestnuts?

My dd has picked up a Tesco bag almost full of chestnuts

Seems a shame to waste them- we don't eat them

Any suggestions for re-using them, or should we just put them in the compost?

    We don't have an open fire, but are going on holiday in December where we will have a big open fire- would they keep until then?
