What candy and other treats do you distribute on Halloween?

[Sean]

We do a lot of Fun Size candies.  Snickers, Milky Way, Three Muskateers.  The small Kit Kats.  Skittles packets. The small Hershey bars, Nestle Crunch, single Reeses Cups.

The same here. That way, if there is any leftovers, the hired help (meaning me), gets a little Halloween treat too.

For the past three years we made up gender specific Halloween treat bags by adding plastic dinosaurs to the boys' bags and plastic unicorns or winged horses to the girls' bags.

Boys' Treat Bags 2014





Girls' Treat Bags 2014

Girls' Treat Bags 2015





We were able to purchase bags of the dinosaurs and other Halloween themed figures cheaply at Target three years ago.

This year to each trick or treatster we gave out one small bag of Cheetos:



A mini Reese Peanut Butter Cup:



And two mini Tootsie Pops left over from 2014(?):



The reason we still had them is because they were either chocolate or raspberry which are the two flavours of Tootsie Pops that I don't much like.



Since we got only 28 trick or treatsters this year, we didn't need to give out any of the mini Oh Henry bars which of course I'll now devour.





I'd originally planned to pick up a bag of Leaf Rain-Blo gum as well. I was waiting for a big last minute sale at Shoppers Drug Mart though but the bags had only been marked down a paltry $0.50 to $5.49 late this afternoon so I passed on the Rain-Blo this year.



The big last minute discounting of Halloween candy that we all so liked seems to have died right down since Zellers was bought out by Target in 2012  Very annoying. Oh well. I'll check Shoppers and Rexall Drugs for deals on potato chips and bubble gum tomorrow.

Me I contrive for a lot of leftover treats!

[Hepcat]

So on the way to work today I scored a Halloween box of Old Dutch Potato Chip bags for $2.96:



Plus a bag of Leaf Rain-Blo gum for $3.00:

Hmmmmm. A remarkable paucity of candy tales on a forum ostensibly frequented by monster kids.

I recommend the Wonder Woman mask, long white t-shirt/ no pants.  You may not have to even say anything.

Distributed small plastic Dinosaurs and they were quite popular.

That's great.  I think I'm going to intersperse some little goodies like that in with the candy.  Then see what the kids do with that.

This is cool!

This is cool!

If that's considered "cool", we are totally chill. We give out Hostess snack cakes and mini-bottles
of water. Kids and parents alike love us to pieces!

Screw the parents! Halloween is for kids (of whatever age). One of these years together with other stuff I'm going to give out little cans of Pepsi:
