Air Heads. I used to be addicted to those things when they sold them at the school bookstore (which I think was only open one year).
For some reason I don’t feel the need to eat them before The Big Day, even tho they are delicious. I hope some kids get a kick out of them!
I am thinking of making brownies. If I make a 9x13 pan I can cut it into 45 pieces, put them in individual baggies and hand them out.
Problem there is that most parents probably won’t allow the kids to eat a homemade treat unless they know you.
PandaKid’s having a party Friday night. We’re not giving out candy this year because we’re taking her out trick or treating (for the last time sniffle)
For the party we have:
Reese’s peanut butter cups
Whoppers
Kit Kat
Twix
Snickers
Milky Way
Milk Duds
Regular M&M’s
Peanut M&M’s
Enough chocolate to send 'em well on their way down Diabetic Lane. I’m also making brownies.
We are not going to be home so I’m going to leave the basket out for the kids to take themselves. The bucket has playdo, kit kats, red vines, starburst, some other kind of chocolate, spider rings and skittles.
Especially, brownies.
I was at the grocery store the other day, and among the bags of Halloween candy I saw one I’d never heard of before, Spunow. I went closer to see what was in it, and if it looked any good.
Turned out to be Mounds that someone had put on the shelf upside-down.
:p:p:p:p I could totally see doing that myself. :p:p:p:p
I love passing candy out to the trick or treaters! 
I’ve got one gimungous bowl of mounds, butterfingers, reeses, kit kat, hersheys, milk duds, paydays and snickers. Another two big bowls have skittles, starbursts, jolly ranchers, twizzlers, bubble gum, lemonheads etc. We get anywhere between 100-300 kids, whatever’s left will get happily consumed at work.
I found Halloween printed lunch bags on sale 8 for $1 and couldn’t resist. Grabbed some themed pencils and spider rings and the cutest little grape and orange crush mini-bottles and filled special treat bags for a couple of neighbor kids and my one nephew still young enough to ToT.
If you google “spunow” you’ll see I’m not the first.
Just a bag of Granny Smiths and a packet of razor blades, same as last year.
We keep the lights out and the curtains drawn. There are hardly any kids in our neighborhood anyway. In the past, it was a pain because we had to corral 2 dogs. Now we have to deal with an escape artist of a cat. Just not worth the aggravation, so we don’t bother. Plus we absolutely don’t need candy ourselves.
What kills me is that even with no outside lights and minimal inside lights, we always seem to get at least one person knocking on the door. Don’t parents teach their kids that you don’t go to houses where the porch light is off??
Hang on. I have to go look. The husband picked it out.
He has unpacked the two bags he purchased and we have (all sitting very neatly, in rows by type, in a basket):
Reese’s PB Cups
Reese’s PB Pumpkins
Whoppers
Hershey’s Cookies and Cream
Hershey’s Milk Chocolate
Reese’s Pieces
He got a 160 count bag of the bottom five, and a separate bag of the PB Cups. At one point, he did have a little list of exactly HOW MANY of each there were in the bag but he’s since thrown that out since I have mocked him. And mocked him badly. Even the dog rolled his eyes.
He’s eaten approximately half of it all so far. We bought them Monday.
Tatertots.
Might want to ask your neighbour what he’s planning. My first year in a new house about 10 years ago, my neighbour had inflatable ghosts and spiders, a fog machine, spooky music and who knows what else. Kids were coming out of the woodwork. We ran out of candy after the first hour and my kids had to donate what they had already collected.
First year in this house, we’re a stretch of 5 houses on only one side of the street. The kids all go elsewhere to trick or treat so their houses were dark and no one came to mine…except them when they got home from their parties. At least I wasn’t disappointed having asked first what to expect.
And yeah, the Reeses peanut butter cups are definately saved for the grown ups!
The last two or three years we’ve bought a smallish bag of mixed lollies, chews etc, and I’ve still ended up eating most of it as we’ve only had one or two trick-or-treaters. This year, though, I’m going to carve my first ever pumpkin lanterns, so maybe if I put them on the doorstep it’ll show that we’re in the Halloween spirit.
Either that or come across a bit like this.
If they were crispy and hot, I’d love trick or treated Tatertots.
I’m not joking.
Open your bag and I’ll give you a double portion. Do you want cheese sauce or gravy?
Just hot tots, in a paper cup, please. I need my other hand free for the bourbon. 
Peanut Butter Cups, Snickers, Mounds, assorted Hershey’s miniatures, and Twizzlers. (I bought the Twizzlers to use as props in a recent game and had some left–I try to offer ToTers better stuff than that.) I may add more to the pile before its done–I’m still trying to determine how Halloween-happy my neighborhood is. There are a lot of ToT-age kids, and a lot of cheesy decorations are going up this year, so additional stock may be in order.
