What candy and other treats do you distribute on Halloween?

[Hepcat]

What candy and other treats do you usually distribute on Halloween? Do you plan on any changes this year? Have any of your favourites disappeared?

We like to have a bit of the traditional stuff, and being a teacher, the wife also has Halloween themed pencils and erasers, but we have a good supply of regular sized Candy bars for the really excellent costumes

I save the chocolate mini bars for kids in costumes, bubble gum for those who don't even try.

I do Treat bags .. I haven't thought it out yet and will wait for the sales .. I like to include some sort of chocolate bars and the other insists on gum and then we add to it. I'm thinking of asking one of my favorite four year olds what he likes to receive on Halloween.

We normally get between 25 and 50 kids, so I do around 50 Treat bags and have extras stuff ready to put together more bags in a hurry but it hasn't come to that so far.

I like to give candy bars, snickers, kit kats, 3 muskateers, stuff like that.  That's the candy I prefered when I was young, and that's what I give out.  Plus, I get to eat what's left at the end.

A friend of mine does a really nice treat bag, including eyeballs of some sort and other spooky candy. She picked up her mini chocolate bars a week or so ago and had already eaten half the bag of 90 ... That's one reason why I wait for close to Halloween ....

Myself though I'll be out trick or treating. There's no way I'll pass up on getting my share of the loot!



The MAN, however, used to dole out one of the small bags of Humpty Dumpty Potato Chips that were sold in Halloween boxes of 25:



He switched to Cheetos when the Humpty Dumpty name brand disappeared in 2006:



In addition, he's been giving out Halloween boodle bags with at least three of the following items:























This year though he's leaning toward skipping the Cheetos and putting together more elaborate boodle bags with about six of the above items depending upon what can be bought at the best price. Since he always waits until right before Halloween because he doesn't trust me not to eat all the candy, I can't yet tell you what the precise contents of the boodle bag will be. All I can say is that I'll quickly devour whatever he doesn't give out to the little urchins. It's what I do.

 There's a Catnip mouse with your name on it, if the Man's Double Bubble and Rain-Blo stash end up at my house.

Picked up 3 boxes of assorted chips at Costco. 54 bags each, hope there are some left over for me.

Last year I gave out razor blades. This year it's going to be needles.

Kidding!

You'd need really sensitive equipment to detect the degree to which I'm laughing...



I try to have a mix, some expensive stuff for the first people who get out there and participate, some really expensive stuff for the ones with the serious costumes.....and yeah, bubble gum and other cheapies for the ones who don't try.  And no ones gets anything until they say "Trick or Treat"!  If they just hold their bag out but don't say the words, that's NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

Mom bought three bags of assorted candy last year and we didn't get a single trick-or-treater. I'll get one bag, and if anyone shows, I'll be shocked!
We did get some new neighbors with small children since last year, though. Maybe I'll knock on their door and ask them if they'll be taking the kids out trick-or-treating.

Most little kids are at the mercy of their parents and their parent's budgets and imaginations  when it comes to costumes .. I give everyone the same treat bag ... When I was giving out single pieces of candy, I would  give the kids that I knew more candy or if I had lots of candy and it was getting late, I would distribute more.

I have to laugh because a few years ago, we weren't getting many trick or treaters (most of my neighbors enjoy Halloween) and it was getting late and my friend across the street came out and started screaming to her other to give everyone two or three treat bags as she didn't want to get stuck will all that candy.

We do treat bags. ALways a small halloween toy and some candy. SOme times comic cards mixed in.

We start buying candy early in October because we have 100-150 tricks or treaters and I get whatever bags Target has on sale, and the largest bags at Sam's Club. I also do treat bags with at least 7 or 8 pieces inside. We have such a crazy night- we have to have pre-made bags.
I tend to stick with the Hersheys, Nestles, M&M/Mars candy because they are usually on sale. I can no longer buy Twizzlers because I am powerless against them and will eat them until they are gone. I also buy Laffy Taffy and Airheads because they are light and easy to slide into the treat sacks.
I will probably try to close up shop next Halloween and trick or treat at Hepcat's house! Those are some sweeeet looking treats! I will bring several different masks and ring his doorbell many times as many different people.....yes.
