1. What is your favorite Halloween candy? Milky Way

2. Worst Halloween candy? Kit Kat. I hate Kit Kats.

3. Are you handing out candy this year? If so, what are you handing out? Not this year, but we handed it out at our halloween themed camping trip and we had: Snickers, Kit Kat, Reeses, Butterfinger (all chosen by H)

4. Thoughts on full sized candy bars for trick or treaters? Loved it as a kid! Would not personally pass them out. If DS got a full bar, I would set it aside from his stash and offer to share it with him at some point.

5. If you're taking your kid(s) trick or treating, are you planning on raiding their candy stash? What are you hoping to find? DS usually lets me have whatever I want if I ask. I would never take anything he only had one of. I usually steal his Dots, because I like them and they are so sticky, he has trouble eating them anyway.

1. What is your favorite Halloween candy?
Any of the mini chocolate bars. Cuz if I eat 3 it's not like eating a big one right?

2. Worst Halloween candy?
Anything that's not candy

3. Are you handing out candy this year? If so, what are you handing out?

Assorted mini chocolate bars

4. Thoughts on full sized candy bars for trick or treaters?

Would do if I found them on the cheap. We usually get around 60-70 kids though. I still remember some of the people who would hand out big ones as a kid myself lol!

5. If you're taking your kid(s) trick or treating, are you planning on raiding their candy stash? What are you hoping to find?

Well, yes. Any of the mini chocolate bars they are willing to share. Have I established that I love them? Haha.

[musicfrk2002]

veggiemo I will trade you all of my milky ways for all of your kit kats.

[musicfrk2002]

1. What is your favorite Halloween candy? Kit kats

2. Worst Halloween candy? Anything with coconut. Also not a big fan of caramel

3. Are you handing out candy this year? If so, what are you handing out? I will be at work, and I doubt H will hand any out. I have 6 giant bags here because I went a little crazy at target. I have kit kats, reeses, starbursts, jolly ranchers, skittles, and gummy lifesavers

4. Thoughts on full sized candy bars for trick or treaters? As a kid, awesome. As an adult, too expensive

5. If you're taking your kid(s) trick or treating, are you planning on raiding their candy stash? What are you hoping to find? It's called quality control and the candy tax lol. Not sure if H will take J out or not.

1. What is your favorite Halloween candy? Reese's Pumpkins. And if those aren't your favorite, you're wrong!

2. Worst Halloween candy? Almond Joy

3. Are you handing out candy this year? If so, what are you handing out? If anyone comes to our door while we're home. I bought Tootsie Pops, a variety pack with reeses's and other chocolate goodness, and popcorn balls and some sort of cheese snack bags that are gluten-free and nut-free. I was trying to do Teal Pumpkin without knowing anything about the Teal Pumpkin Project and didn't realize it's supposed to be non-edible stuff. Oh well.

4. Thoughts on full sized candy bars for trick or treaters? I'm not gonna be the one to give them out but I definitely loved getting them as a trick or treater!

5. If you're taking your kid(s) trick or treating, are you planning on raiding their candy stash? What are you hoping to find? For sure, we'll be eating all of her candy LOL. We don't really give Gianna candy. I think she's had lollipops maybe a handful of times, but nothing else that I can think of.

[billyhorrible]

1. What is your favorite Halloween candy? I love mallowcreme pumpkins, but since they're not really trick or treat friendly I'll go with fun sized 3 Musketeers.

2. Worst Halloween candy? smarties, sugar babies/sugar daddies, those stupid chocolate eyeballs/pumpkins/discs

3. Are you handing out candy this year? If so, what are you handing out? I had LBB make the list and now I don't remember everything on it! 3 Musketeers, butterfingers, hershey bars....I feel like he requested something gummy or twizzlers? I like to mix up the chocolate and nonchocolate. (And non-food for kids with allergies. We've got spider rings and vampire teeth, glow in the dark bats and sticky skeletons)

4. Thoughts on full sized candy bars for trick or treaters? I don't think it's necessary. There's a house on our route that does it because they get few trick or treaters, and DH and LBB love it, but for me the fun sized candies are the perfect size.

5. If you're taking your kid(s) trick or treating, are you planning on raiding their candy stash? What are you hoping to find? I can't bring myself to do this. DH is all about it, and already tried to go after the 2 pieces of candy BH got at his party yesterday, and both kids' hauls from trick or treating earlier in the month. I just make sure we hand out what I like and put aside a couple pieces. But in fairness, I'm not a huge candy person.

[ashbash]

1. What is your favorite Halloween candy?
Love candy corn but trick or treat candy would be mini milky way

2. Worst Halloween candy? Those black or orange wrapped taffy ish things. It was always the really old people who handed them out

3. Are you handing out candy this year? If so, what are you handing out? A big mixed bag of snickers, milky way and hershey bars and a big bag of sugar candy like lemon heads and smarties

4. Thoughts on full sized candy bars for trick or treaters? Did not know this was a thing.

5. If you're taking your kid(s) trick or treating, are you planning on raiding their candy stash? What are you hoping to find? Cooper has never had candy so I will let him try a piece or 2 and Charlotte I will let her choice 10 pieces and save them and she can have one a day. The rest Ill pick out a few of my favs- milky way, the chocolate with the little crunchies and donate the rest

[mrsmonogrammed]

1. What is your favorite Halloween candy?
Milk duds

2. Worst Halloween candy?
Almond joy or those waxy taffy like things. Or flavored tootsie rolls! I have a lot of bad candy feels apparently.

3. Are you handing out candy this year? If so, what are you handing out?
Yes- we have butterfinger cups, butterfingers, skittles, snickers, Milky Way, m&ms, & stickers.

4. Thoughts on full sized candy bars for trick or treaters?
Fun to get, but I'm certainly not handing them out.

5. If you're taking your kid(s) trick or treating, are you planning on raiding their candy stash? What are you hoping to find?
Definitely. DD hasn't had candy so we plan to take everything, lol. I'm looking forwards to dots, milk duds, bubble gum, kit kats, and 100 grand.

[jillywilly]

1. M & Ms. Or Kit Kats. Or Twix. Or Almond Joy/Mounds. I love chocolate, basically.

2. Worst Halloween candy is Smarties (the American kind) or tootsie rolls.

3. I went a little nuts and have like, five of the huge variety bags. So you name it, we got it. Reese's, snickers, Twix, starburst... I know there's way more in those too that I can't remember. I bought different types of varieties, so there really is a ton.

4. Obviously loved full size bars as a kid. Now I moved into a neighborhood with 275+ houses and chock full of kids. Not in the Halloween budget!

5. H and I took over DS' trunk or treat stash because it's all really chewy stuff I don't trust him with yet. I'll probably let him have a chocolate bar or something on Halloween. I only plan on taking him to a couple houses on our street.

[Widget123]

1. Nestle Crunch. Second is Mr. Good Bar. I also like Kit Kats.

2. I don't like most of the fruity candy as much such as Nerds, Smarties, Skittles, etc.

3. We're usually not home for Halloween but we will be this year. Not a lot of kids in our neighborhood but if some happen to show up, H bought several bags of candy that he has mostly been using to fill up a candy jar at work.

4. Unnecessary, but nice I suppose.

5. I'm not interested in raiding a candy stash. I don't eat much candy anyway. However, since Halloween is typically a family affair for us I have to look for about nieces, nephew, other adults raiding the candy stash.

[beersandweirs]

1. What is your favorite Halloween candy?
- Oh man, too hard to choose, but if I had to choose just one it would be Reese's pumpkins.

2. Worst Halloween candy?
- The crappy palmer's chocolates or good n' plenty.

3. Are you handing out candy this year? If so, what are you handing out?
- Yes, we have snickers, reese's, butterfingers and starburts.

4. Thoughts on full sized candy bars for trick or treaters?
- Great if I got them, but I have never given them out.

5. If you're taking your kid(s) trick or treating, are you planning on raiding their candy stash? What are you hoping to find?
- Uh, let's be honest, LO is not getting any of her candy...

[blueskiessmiling]

1. What is your favorite Halloween candy? Reese's pumpkins...yum

2. Worst Halloween candy? Those chocolate crunch circle candies from the dollar store
3. Are you handing out candy this year? If so, what are you handing out? I have Reese's, Hershey's, Kit Kats, and then Nerds for really little kids

4. Thoughts on full sized candy bars for trick or treaters?Nice in theory, but we get WAY too many kids

5. If you're taking your kid(s) trick or treating, are you planning on raiding their candy stash? What are you hoping to find?
I've already been dipping into her pumpkin. She can't have chocolate anyway, so...

[Bluedaisy]

1. Mar bars
2. Raisins...ugh worst treat ever.
3. Yup assorted full size chocolate bars.
4. See above....I grew up in the country where we'd get like five kiddos so I was so used to giving massive handfuls of candy that it became cheaper for us to buy the Costco packs of the full size so that I only give one to each kid.
5. Not taking lo trick or treating but will definitely enjoy some of our left over candy.

[shahoi]

1. Almonds Joys! I can't believe all the coconut haters.

2. Milk Duds. Yuck. You spend too much time getting it all out of your teeth.

3. No. We live in the country and have zero trick-or-treaters.

4. I will never hand them out, but it's cool when other people do.

5. We will only be going to a few houses to see family, so she will hardly get any candy.

[jessila]

1. What is your favorite Halloween candy? Milky Way, 3 Musketeers, or Twix. Oh! And Milk Duds but watch out because they'll pull teeth.

2. Worst Halloween candy? Anything with coconut or (bracing self for the flames coming my way) Reece's. Yuck. And black licorice.

3. Are you handing out candy this year? If so, what are you handing out? I got Milky Ways, 3 Musketeers, Twix, Snickers, and maybe something else. I'll look for peanut free stuff tomorrow to keep separate.

4. Thoughts on full sized candy bars for trick or treaters? My mom did this when they lived on a street that got maybe 10 kids total. I think it's nice for areas like that. There's no way I could manage to pull that off in my neighborhood. We get 150-200 kids.

5. If you're taking your kid(s) trick or treating, are you planning on raiding their candy stash? What are you hoping to find? We're not going this year.

[pghtruelove]

1. Midnight Milkyway
2. Snickers or any candy with peanuts.
3. Yes, giving out full sized candy bars this year. My family gives them out, and my (foster) parents are going out of town last minute so they gave them to me to hand out.
4. The town I grew up in, a lot of people gave out full sized candy bars. I wouldn't do it(except this year obviously) unless I didn't get a ton of kids.
5. Yep. Will eat most of her candy.

[periwinkledaydreams]

1. What is your favorite Halloween candy? mini twix or reese's cups
2. Worst Halloween candy? uhhhh CANDY CORN hello, disgusting
3. Are you handing out candy this year? If so, what are you handing out? We bought a bunch last year, our first year in this neighorhood. We got one trick-or-treater. I'm on a strict cleanse right now so DNW candy around, plus I won't be home. I'll prob buy one bag of SOs fav, just in case, so he can hand them out and/or eat all the leftovers.
4. Thoughts on full sized candy bars for trick or treaters? Unheard of. Have never encountered this. My godfather always gave me a giant cookies n cream hersheys bar for Halloween but it wasn't like he was handing them out, I was a special someone. Aww that was a nice memory!
5. If you're taking your kid(s) trick or treating, are you planning on raiding their candy stash? What are you hoping to find? We'll go with my sisters kids in my parents neighborhood, because there's a lot more kids and families over there, and fewer hills lol. Plus my old neighbors will love to see J. I'll distribute any candy she gets between he cousins and her brother. She'll get a piece for herself.
