What were some of your favorites to get (or the most dreaded, for that matter) while trick or treating?

I remember that it always felt like you hit the jackpot when you got a whole, real sized candy bar, even if it was one that was not so nice, like Baby Ruth!

So the question is... Which treats did you most readily try to avoid on Halloween?

So, up until this year that was part of the kids goody bag they got.
This year they get fun size candy bars.  I do pride myself on having the best candy on the block.
With the fun size candy bars they are getting a small halloween ruler they can use in school.  As well as a halloween yo yo.
A few sticks of twizzlers..a few warheads.  A blood bag (watermelon liquid candy in a bag resembling blood)  Some maggot mints.  And a round piece of gum that billed itself better when I bought it.  It turns out to only be a gumball.  It was supposed to be an oozing eyeball..with red candy dribbling out when you ate it.  That is not the case.

Yes, I go a bit overboard but as I said.  I want the kids talking about the house after they leave.

Each kid would get a full sized candy bar, one of those small sized cans of soda or a juice box, a snack sized pudding or snack sized can of fruit and an envelope of Hot Cocoa mix for after trick or treating. I usually only needed to make up about 25 bags....and sometimes I'd even have a few left over.

Where I live now I get over 300 kids (I even get adults). So I have reduced it down to an assortment of snack size candy bars. Might sound a bit weird but I also ask them if they'd rather have candy or canned vegetables. You'd be amazed how many kids say "I want the peas!". Maybe it's a sign of the times???

Man, I wish you had been handing out candy in my neighborhood as a kid!


I wish I had to when I was a kid.  To have a house like ours.  Hehe.  Our first halloween here..I asked the neighbors.  How many kids trick or treat?  They told me about 15 did.  Maybe it was because we were new here and parents wanted to scope us out..but we got about 50 that year.  Last year we had over 250.  This year..well I made up 300 goody bags and are hoping that is enough.  The entire town is 292..though we are extremely close to a town with 26,000.

When I was a kid the best candy bar I ever got was a box of thin mints.  An entire box.  Wasn't big into mint candy...but it was a whole box. 
So, I try to pick candy people like now.

Status: offline 		I always give out several of the yummy snack size candy bars along with some other candy like lollipops for the younger kids. I also give each kids a toy of some sort. This year I got Halloween tattoos, rubber spiders and snakes and such, stickers and Halloween pencils. I am bummed this year because I am usually off to hand out the candy and I will have to work tonight. I also dress up and scare the kids too. Oh well, maybe next year.

Our block doesn't get too many kids.  Although when I have taken others trick-or-treating I have always made sure that they had a full-size "seed candy bar" in their bags.  My parents house get a LOT of kids.  There was even one year when my mom had to take candy from our trick-or-treat pumpkins, because she had ran out, and kids were still ringing to doorbell.

Status: offline 		This is going to be the first year in a while that no one will be home to give out candy.  Therefore, I didn't buy any.  Which is a shame, I always gave out snickers, kit kats, and other chocolatey goodness.  I adore those peanut butter things, with the crumbly peanut butter in the middle, and they are wrapped in orange or black paper.  (nom nom nom)  I won't touch smarties.  I can't wait to have candy for breakfast tomorrow morning!
