What Is or Was Your Favorite Halloween Candy?

[SereneSeagull]

     Most folks I know give out Halloween candy that they like, in hopes of having leftovers!  I know I do!

As a kid I loved Smarties, Snickers and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

I like giving out full bars, because you see and hear the joy from the kids. It’s once a year, and fun.

 The neighborhood I’m in is near a school, so getting almost 200 Trick-orTreaters is common here!  I like getting the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups at Sam’s Club, since they have the larger quantities.  

Any favorite candies?

We do have the parents who have drinks in their hands.  Some houses give out wine, but I find that to be irresponsible.  Then we get the parents who have a bag wanting us to put candy in it as well for them, saying it’s for a child at home who’s sick.  Heard that one too many times!

Not swept under the rug I don’t think.  That’s a bit off topic from favorite candy so I’ll end there.

 Anything chocolate.. Id give away military secrets for a snickers bar

Snickers are soooo good. Perfect pairing of everything in that one bar!

My favorite Halloween candy was butterfingers 

[SereneSeagull]

Yes! Those are so good crumbled on ice cream!

We haven' t had a knock on our door in 10 years but I always buy a bag of 3 musketeers.

And once again I have a FULL bag to eat.

I’ve always like those.  Have you tried putting them in the fridge?  Needs to sit out for a little bit to soften, or I’d kill my teeth!  but really good.

[papawofboo]

Sure did.

     I love your idea of full-sized candy!  As a kid, I’d literally jump for joy at full-sized Hershey bars or a Reece’s Cups double pack!

     I’ll only get a couple dozen trick or treaters at most.  They tend to be under 8 years old and are usually accompanied by their costumed parents as well as their costumed dogs! 

      This year I’m doing smaller candy, but it’s a “pick 6” opportunity, and there are non- edible options like ping pong eyeballs, and icky sticky hands. 😮

       Last night, my former work colleagues were having a “What’s your goodie bowl look like this year?” discussion, and I’ll share my bowl here too.  The rat that’s pictured will be “guarding” the bowl outdoors with me. 🎃

     Great topic!     (….and yup, looking forward to leftovers!)

My hubby and I still love Hershey's bars. 3 Musketeers and Butterfingers are yummy, too.😻

[SereneSeagull]

All classics.  Making S’mores with Hershey bars was always fun.  And if we weren’t outside near a campfire, roasting the marshmallows over the burner flame in the kitchen did just as well! 

[SereneSeagull]

Fantastic goodie bowl!  I really like that pick six option you’ll be doing. That’ll make it a lot of fun for sure! Some years I’ll give out glow sticks and spider rings as well and they can pick one of those.  This year just the candy.  Liked seeing the picture!
