I love, love, love chocolate. I remember getting tummy aches at Halloween because I just ate EVERYTHING for 5-6 yrs running. Then it was Tootsie Rolls, all Hersey’s Brands, and apples.
My husband & I are currently dieting so we are giving out mini Playdough tins in neon/bright colors-that way if we are left with anything we will not be eating it up to get rid of it. Which is what has happened more times than I can count. And anyway we have some neighbors who are fiercely allergic to nuts and chocolates. So now, we will not being accidentally killing anyone, I think.
Totally LAME. If I got a tin of Playdough you’d have Playdough balls all over your windows. It’s not about you, it’s about the kids. You can’t handle the candy, shut the lights and pretend you’re not home.
Sweet Tarts. I have always hated them, and they seem to crop up in all of the cheap Halloween candy assortments. I have to assume that someone likes those powdery little nuggets of vileness, but I can’t imagine who.
I don’t give out full-size candy bars as a rule. I distribute the miniature Snickers, Kit-Kats, peanut butter cups, and chocolate bars. I just give enough to each ToTer to add up to a full-size bar. I figure they’re more likely to get some of their favorite that way, and it makes the all-important trading easier.
I was a strange one. I think Halloween was the only time my sisters liked me, until we became adults that is.
I loved all the healthy stuff. Apples, popcorn balls, peanuts - if it was healthy, I would eat it.
I also liked the weird stuff. Candy corn, circus peanuts, the orange and black peanut butter things, mary janes, tootsie rolls…
I hated: regular chocolate bars (all of them, snickers and the rest). It wasn’t until I was in my late teens that I could eat that stuff.
I would eat the non chocolates like sweet tarts, smarties, lemon heads (still my favorite candy), now and laters, etc. But, I preferred the healthy and strange. I would give away ALL my good stuff for ALL their bad stuff. And we’d all be happy.
