:witch:I bought my Halloween candy today, and I was just wondering what kind of candy do you give out? I bought two bags of Nestle assortment at BJ's. It has Nestle Crunch, Butterfinger, and Baby Ruth. What a deal, the bag had 135 pieces of candy for $11.99, and I had two coupons for $2.50 off each bag. We get a lot of trick or treaters, sometimes close to 100 kids!
 
We always go to BJ's and get a couple big bags of chocolate assortments. This year's has mini Reese Cups, Whoppers, Milk Duds, and other Hershey products.
 
For ourselves we bought a new holiday assortment---Hershey, Hershey Dark, Krackel, and Mr. Goodbar minis mixed with Hershey Kisses and mini Reese cups, all wrapped in Christmas colors.
 
I have bought 2 large bags of Take 5 candy bars, 1 large bag of Reese's Peanut Butter cups, and 1 large bag of Smarties! All my faves, in case I have some left over

There's loads of Halloween treats out that I'd love to try but I'm holding off a few weeks. Trying and failing to shift a few pounds first. Thinking of a Halloween night blow out though.
 
Usually it's suckers, Tootsie Rolls, Smarties, Hershey Bars, Peanut Butter Cups, KitKats, and mini pretzels, but it varies year to year. I think we might give out microwave popcorn, and little trinkets. Not sure yet.

We typically, go through about 25-30 lbs of candy on Halloween night, (I think I'm guilty for eating a pound of it myself; lol...) and it is usuall an assortment that we sort of make ourselves with it being heavy on the chocolate side. It's an assortment of Hershey, Mars, Nestle, Tootsie Rolls, some hard candies, Sweet Tarts, etc... But lots and lots of chocolate....:boo:
 
Holy Joe, that's a lot of Halloween candy!

I know! It's been like that every year since we lived there at the house (14 years). One year, we ran out, ran out of whatever we could find in the pantries and so, I ran up to the local rite aid and bought whatever I could get my hands on/ what they had left....

I will have to look again what I bought, but I know it was Reese's & induvidual twizzlers & I think the other 2 chocolates were Twix & Kit Kat! So far I have kept my fingers OUT of it! :lol:

We usually only get 2 or 3 kids here at my apartment. So I bought a box of the little bags of pretzels to put out and I'll pick up some chocolate too.

I usually go to my sisters house to hand out candy while her and my BIL take my niece's out. She gets about 250 kids a year. She usually makes up little treat bags with a piece of chocolate, a sucker, and a couple of other pieces of assorted candy. Then she buys fruit snacks and usually little boxes of crayons for the younger kids.
 
I bought a big mix of chocolate from SAMs and one of those large Tootsie Roll bags that's got all the different pieces in there...plus some Laffy Taffy. I also got glow in the dark spiders and sticky rats.

I'm going to make treatbags but I have no idea how many kids I'm getting.

My housemate said we get "a lot of kids" so I asked "is it a lot like 24 or a lot like 124?" Apparently it's somewhere in between. SO I'm not sure how many bags to make up!! I'm thinking of making around 80 and then having some candy on the side too. I'm SUPER excited about it though.
 
Ok, this year we've gone with gummy fruit snacks, Smarties, and Cheetos. - I recently had extensive dental work done, and I'm on a diet, so decided against chocolate-y goodies for this year.
