What Is or Was Your Favorite Halloween Candy?

     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 Reeseโ€™s Peanut Butter Cups.

 

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

 

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

Any favorite candies?

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

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

Sure did.

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

 

     Iโ€™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 Iโ€™m doing smaller candy, but itโ€™s a โ€œpick 6โ€ opportunity, and there are non- edible options like ping pong eyeballs, and icky sticky hands. ๐Ÿ˜ฎ


       Last night, my former work colleagues were having a โ€œWhatโ€™s your goodie bowl look like this year?โ€ discussion, and Iโ€™ll share my bowl here too.  The rat thatโ€™s pictured will be โ€œguardingโ€ the bowl outdoors with me. ๐ŸŽƒ

 

     Great topic!     (โ€ฆ.and yup, looking forward to leftovers!)

My hubby and I still love Hershey's bars. 3 Musketeers and Butterfingers are yummy, too.๐Ÿ˜ป

All classics.  Making Sโ€™mores with Hershey bars was always fun.  And if we werenโ€™t outside near a campfire, roasting the marshmallows over the burner flame in the kitchen did just as well!

Fantastic goodie bowl!  I really like that pick six option youโ€™ll be doing. Thatโ€™ll make it a lot of fun for sure! Some years Iโ€™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!
