You know, the house that gives kids an apple instead of candy?
Not cool, not cool man.

Took my daughter around the neighborhood and noticed that most people were giving out suckers or the cheap stuff like smarties. Not much chocolate. We gave out the good stuff well at least I think so. M&M's, Reese cups and snickers. Glad its all gone don't think I could have resisted the reeses cups.

I'm one of those that turns off all of the lights and hides in a back room til' around 11:00! Sad, but true!!! I once gave out Marlboro lights. The kids loved it, but I got a visit from the sheriff the next day! I forgot to buy any candy. Oops!

Nope, we gave out the good stuff. I was hoping it was all gone, too.
Woke up early this morning to watch the 2nd half of the Chiefs vs. Chargers....gotta love DVR. Went into the kitchen to brew some java and there are 5 mini Snickers beside the coffee maker.
WTF? Someone is effing with me, bigtime. It's a known fact that Snickers were one of my 4 food groups, along with Bud Light, fried chicken, biscuits and breads of all types. It's a known fact that I now don't touch the mess.....at all.
Maybe they were testing me....."Let's see if Dad will cave in....leave a few by his coffee". I'll get the rascals.I may look like Santa Claus.....but I'm feeling like Elvis...........

I give out regular candy. A mix of baby ruth, snickers and sour stuff.
Just so everyone knows, the kids like the sweet tarts and smarties better than choclate.
Its the adults that like the choclate better.
No one like apples or popcorn balls or erasers.
The best thing i ever gave away was little plastic mice and spiders and the like, the kids flipped over them and when given a choice chose the toy over the candy."To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man.

I was having fun out playing with my kid so I didn't give out the candy...I left it in a basket by the front door serve yourself style. It was the big bag from Costco with nerds, smarties, taffy, skittles, etc. There was a lady in the neighborhood giving out full size candy bars. One house had a hockey net set up and you had to earn your candy by taking a shot.

Only the good stuff, 1 candy per kid, we had 470 candies that went out, then we had 50 mini bags of oreos we gave out, then turned the light off. AND they would knock on the door with lights out and door shut.
Best part, I was handing out candy in normal clothes, there were many kids who were scared of me, with no costume ! LMAO My girlfriend is like your so mean LOL.Keep it simple

When I live in a house, I'll probably hand out mini bags of trail mix or something. I don't want to give candy to children but I don't want be the prick that gives out apples and mouthwash either so I think trail mix w/MAYBE a few chocolate chips would be a good middleground.
