We'll set out two bowls (labelled). I'm thinking of putting out a bowl of fruit as well (apples, oranges, bananas) for those who are interested. We've lived in the neighborhood for over ten years. Everyone knows us. Besides, the whole "razor blade in the apple" thing was a myth created in the early 70's and I suspect the candy industry was behind it (probably Nestle - they're as sleazy as you get).
