What will you hand out for trick or treat?

I love how u gave your Beanie Babies as treats! LOL about the boy who changed costumes to get another one!! They were definitely a hit! If u were handing them out this year, I would definitely swing by. I am the size of a kid, and in a costume, u wouldn’t even know, LOL!

I believe good parents will check every piece of candy. I won’t feel responsible if I hand out Reese’s Cups, which are my favorite. If u want to make the kids extra excited, give out full size candy bars. Our old neighbors always did that and became the most popular house to visit!

We don’t get trick or treaters where I live.  Sometimes one of my frinds that  lives in lively area has parties and we all bring some candy to pass out. We have tons of Apple trees in my hood so if I get it together I pick apples to pass out.

If not I’m all in w/ the Snickers and Reeses!

I’m all for healthy living but,  “when in Rome” on Halloween…get what the kids love. :cattongue:

The Beanie Babies give away is fantastic! And so cute about the boy next door and your responce. :catvery-happy:

We get alot of trick or treaters.  Our development is made of three cul de sacs that have one road coming in, sort of like a three leaf clover with a stem.  Since there is no traffic racing through, some of the surrounding neighborhoods drop their kids off at the entrance and they cover the three circles and have a bag of candy in no time and it’s safe.  Lots of parents are out with the little ones, too.  They are so cute carrying babies in costumes.  We’ve even started having doggie treats because people started dressing up their pets and bringing them with the kids.  We used to get about 40-50 a year but the schools and malls have started doing alot of programs, which I think is good, and the turn out has dropped off.

Halloween has never been my favorite holiday, so I don’t decorate alot, I just do a fall theme, but I do think the kids are cute and as long as they keep it harmless I think it’s ok.  I just can’t get into vampires and walking dead.  I think it’s a generational thing.

Candy for the kids and tied baggies full of dog treats for the furry trick or treaters.   I think the parents of the kids with allergies will check candy and older children will look at ingredients and pretty much know if it contains something they are allergic to.   

  We always checked our sons candy and that was 40 years ago!

  Then it got so bad with tainted candy,  that we stopped handing out candy.

  Then after Mom passed, we went to Daddys house (actually right across the street LOL) and handed candy or coins out for him.  

  The last couple of years we have gone back to giving out candy.  I found that just 1 person will not make everyone stop trick or treating.    It’s up to parents to allow or not allow and check their kids goodies.

  But anyway we got that big bag of tootsie rolls, tootsie pops, fruity tootsie rolls, and dots!  And we love all of those so if we only get a few kids like last year, we will certainly enjoy them!!!

  And I HAVE NOT opened the bag yet LOL!

Love Halloween. Let’s me feel like a kid again. Will be handing out assorted small snack size candy bars. We get around 5-60 youngsters each year. On a monday this year. Weather should not be an issue. I love dressing up our front door. This is me with my orange leather skirt, in keeping with the day’s motif.

Ahh Target got me today with the Halloween Candy.  I got 4 bags (snickers, butterfiger, take five, and peanut M&M’s).  The problem is, I will be lucky to get 10 kids.  I will have enough candy for my late night occassional cholcate needs now, probably till spring!  But if something happens, and a bunch of kids show up, I will be ready! (I only buy candly I like, so it won’t go to waste).  🙂 

I am still giving out candy and I hope an adult is with them.

In my City they have green houses which are houses they don’t give out food

with gluten you have to put a green pumpkin outside the house so the kids will know it’s safe.

I hope everyone enjoy that day and be safe.:smileyhappy:

I am giving out the little candy bars and lollipops. I hope the candy will last i have grandkids :womanlol:

What will I hand out for Halloween:  Well, we make an all day event.  It’s Halloween and my grandson’s birthday.  We gather early and make goody bags filled with goodies.  Then when the evening event happens, all the children trick-r-treating will get, popcorn balls, granola bars, gummi bears, fruit roll-ups, fruit individual packages, fruit boxed drinks (such as Capri, etc.), pencils, coloring books, mini boxes of crayons, silly putty, halloween jewelry for boy or girl, wax lips, stickers, rub on tatoos, halloween rubber stamps, yo-yos, kazoos, mini play-dough, etc. the list goes on and on.  All the children have such a wonderful time.  After the event of Halloween and the crowd has diminished, we load up the utility trailer filled with fresh hay and blankets and go ride around neighborhoods.  We sing, laugh, tell stories, and talk.  Really a GREAT TIME!  HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL!  BE SAFE!

It is very hard to know how many kids I will get – some years it is over a hundred and some years 50.  On a slow night, when it starts getting to be about 7:30 or so – the next bunch of kids are going to really make out!  

I really decorate the front of my house with all kinds of stuff including the big blow ups (cute ones – not scary ones).  I hand out the miniture bags of chips with 2 bite size candy bars.  

I figure they can use the chips for school lunch and Halloween is for kids and kids want candy!   If you’re a really cute kid – you’re probably going to get more!  I’m a sucker for an adorable little one!  

you ladies rock!!! from the beanie baby ideas to the doggie goodie bags to dressing up in orange leather- just utterly fabulous!!! as for my household, we just went to cvs this morning and got some candy. when i was growing up, my neighborhood was rockin’. we live in the old italian section of town. i remember going to the homes of family and friends equipped with large pillow cases all the way into the early nightfall. however, i must say that when i was really small, i especially loved how certain of our friends and family used to call us up wanting my mom to take me over to their house before evening so that they could see me in my costume. i still remember the sentiment to this day. i wish i still had friends and family that were so happy to see me like that. oh, the nostaglia!!! love it. happy halloween everyone!!!  xoxo

We give out a variety of fun-sized chocolate candy bars. My 5 year old granddaughter is an expert on candy, so she helps me buy the good stuff. I also but lollipops for those who have food allergies.

You all are starting to get me in the spirit of Halloween.  Here’s a funny question.  Does anyone else ever get the kid that has two bags and says can he have an extra one for his sister who is sick?  When we lived in NC that happened and when we moved to GA it happened.  One year I asked the kid how his sister was doing and he laughed and said not so good, some candy might make her feel better.  I haven’t seen him in a couple of years so maybe he grew up.  Hope the sister grew up happy and healthy, too, lol.

hi my friend ? i keep candy separate and ask the kids if they can have chocolate or nuts.  i usually have chocolate, chocolate with nuts or peanut butter, and something like sour patch kids.  the sour patch kids are a big hit. i never understand why kids like sour stuff so much, but it makes it easy.  

if i have classroom stuff like pencils, stencils, stickers, games, books, etc i’ll will give that to the right age groups. i give candy with that stuff, too. you must have had a TON of beanie babies :catvery-happy:

from what i understand, the kids are pretty good about knowing what to eat, and the really young kids have their cady checked out by a parent.  it works out ok in my neighborhood.

i  just hope someone doesn’t egg my hillary sign. :heart: nik
