What are most popular Halloween candies this year?
I'm thinking Snickers or Milky Way, but I'd like to go with something more unusual. What do kids love?

3. If you have a membership card, go to Costco and get a case
of those KING SIZE Snickers bars.

4. Chocolate.
Think about the kind of candy you looked forward to as a kid. It's true that most kids will eat anything rolled in sugar, but there are some things that are better than others.

Chocolate bars were best, especially Crunch bars.

5. I buy stuff that I don't like
that way there's actually candy left in the house by the time halloween rolls around.

7. Little foil-wrapped Reese's cups were my candy of choice as a kid
Milk Duds say "eat me" to any and all trick-or-treating kids, but not in the normal sense.

11. Mmmmmmmmmmm those are so good
they're better than regular Reece's cups - I think the ratio of chocolate to PB is better.

8. Gobstoppers
The ever lasting Gobstopper is always good. I would say that those fun size Baby Ruth candy bars are really good.

Laffy Taffy is always a good time.

9. If you have the money
instead of getting candy get neon reflecter bracelets or necklaces. It's something they could put on immediately. You can hand it to them instead of putting it in their back. They can put it on and will be seen by drivers. Plus, it's something they can wear again(skating rink or a place like that).
We give those out and mini bottles of bubbles.

12. Milky Way
Edited on Fri Oct-07-05 09:28 AM by BigMcLargehuge
and you can send those to... Big McLargehuge, DU Lounge, Cyberspace USA...

We have to work out a trade agreement with Ian McLargehuge this year. He eats chocolate and goes on a Hulk Smash rampage. We are going to give out regular candy though, but trade with him for non-chocolate candy.

13. Be the crank on the block.
Give them toothbrushes or apples or something equally scornworthy.

25. Never mind what the kids like
I go with what I like! Half the fun is dealing with the leftovers anyway.

In my case that means chocolate. Lots of it. Oh, and Reese's.
