Yup. I would have loved that on those cold nights when I’d be taking my kid around many moons ago. With Sour Cream. And Bourbon of course. 
Reeses PB Cups
Snickers - these two my wife likes
Milky Ways
3 Musketeers - I like
I refrain from eating anything before Halloween. My wife, not so much. Might need to get another bag of Reeses next week.
Last year I ran out because we didn’t get many kids the year before, so I stocked up. I do the greeting, my wife hides out in her office with the dog.
My son got a couple of big boxes of glow sticks. Somewhere on the internet has a yearly sale on them. They went over big last year. If they’re the same as last year, they’ll have lanyards, so kids can wear them or twirl them.
We had 350+ trick or treaters last year, that’s about average (400 the year before) so we have to shop for volume. We can’t spend too much per kid, if we bought $1.00 chocolate bars it would break the bank! So we go with Ring Pops - seem to be popular and only cost 25 cents each kid (still costs us $100 in candy). But Halloween is my favorite holiday, we do the whole spoooky house theme, so it’s well worth the expense.
Peanut M&M’s and KitKats, I have about 300 of them.
With full size candy bars for my nieghbor kids.
Newcastle for the adults.
In order of how I plan to distribute them:
- Bag of Twizzlers
- Bag of Kit Kat bars
- Bag of Reese’s Pieces
- Assortment of Almond Joy, Kit Kat, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, and regular Hershey bars
I’ll start by giving out two items to each kid, and adjust the number upward or downward as warranted. For some reason, there are no set hours in our part of the county, so we figure we’ll put the porch light on when we start seeing/hearing kids skittering about, and declare “lights out” after a half-hour or so has passed with no new (or repeat) “customers”.
Best things when I was a kid were the homemade taffy apples and popcorn balls, and the hot cider a couple of people made.
No more… 8(
One lady in our neighborhood made giant delicious cookies with each child’s name on it spelled out in raisins!
