What's in DU's halloween candy dish?

[skids]

I'm looking for cool stuff to hand out to the munchkins. I think I'm going to give the older kids some Hershey's icebreakers gum (good for the teeth.)

(BTW, about how how tall should be my cutoff point for giving out gum? Waste high? I don't know the sensibilities of parents these days.)

What are the rest of you DUers handing out?

[Warpy]

1. Costco's finest

a three pound bag of mini chocolate bars.

If it's not chocolate, it's not worth the calories.

[uppityperson]

2. Toothbrushes!

not really. We don't get them since live out in woods.

[TahitiNut]

3. Reese's PeaNUT Butter Cups.

Of course.

[Nutmegger]

4. Mini Nutrageous bars.

I wouldn't go with anything else! :9

[TahitiNut]

8. GNTA

(Great Nuts Think Alike) :thumbsup:

5. I'm not doing Halloween this year. I am in the middle of moving.

Besides, around here all the parents drive their kids to the wealthier neighborhoods for trick-or-treating.

[bdamomma]

14. and I wonder if all those rich people give kids more candy or not.

[TahitiNut]

18. Well, speaking for myself - I always feel "richer" when I'm being generous.

Halloween is just one of those times. :shrug: After all, I'm from the "Help The Poor!!" era.

6. Well, Hershey's has recently closed their plants in PA and have

relocated in Mexico and China, I believe, and other countries; I am boycotting them! I refuse to buy Hersheys candies that are not manufactured in the U.S.

You can make up your own mind, but I refuse to buy Hershey's candies not made in the U.S.; Just check the labels on the candies.

9. I'll have to look for some other xylitol gum then...

...most of the other brands only have xylitol as an low-quantity additive, though.

[TahitiNut]

7. Oh! ... and Milk Bones for the puppies being walked. (NEVER forget the puppies!)

:silly:

[Individualist]

10. Snack size Hershey's, Reece cups, Kit Kat bars and Whoppers

I'm going to wear a witch's hat and use Halloween makeup on my eyes right before I start giving out treats. I may be 64, but I enjoy Halloween probably as much as the kids do! :)

[TahitiNut]

19. You and me both. (64, that is.)

:evilgrin:

I wear my floor-length black summer kimono with the family symbols on it. The kids in this neighborhood think it's a "wizard's robe" ... culturally-deprived as they are.

:rofl:

[Breeze54]

11. Snarky remarks and guffaws!

:P

What? I'm supposed to hand out candy to DUers? :wtf:

I didn't see that in the Rhulezes!!!!! :rofl:

Hmmmm... I never have any kids trick or treating anymore

except my 19 yr old & his friends trying to freak me out! :D

They do a good job too! ;)

[Bjornsdotter]

12. We had

....Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Snickers and Milkyways.

They were quite tasty :evilgrin:

Not sure what the little beggars will get....I have to restock.

Cheers

[skids]

22. You might want to wait until Tuesday...

...just sayin' :rofl:

[Bjornsdotter]

27. I'm thinkin'

....that might be a good idea!

:toast:

[Rick Myers]

13. Kit-Kat bars and Reese's PB Cups!!!

I always buy big, so I can snark on the leftovers!!!

[rug]

15. Gum?

[bdamomma]

16. I sometimes try to get candy that I won't end up eating, but my kids

come home with pounds of it, and I end up taking it work for everyone else to eat, too much sugar for the kids!! my favorites, M&M's and twizzlers!!! and my all time favorites Hot Tamales Candy!!

[Der Blaue Engel]

17. I saw mini-packs of Haribo Gummy Bears at Cost Plus

If kids came to my door, I'd give out that, but they don't. :shrug: I guess my apartment looks intimidating?

[senseandsensibility]

20. I have been having a bizrre craving for candy corn lately

I haven't tried it in years, but when I think back, it was so sweet it used to hurt my teeth. So why does it sound so good?

[LWolf]

21. Absolutely nothing.

In this semi-rural area, people go into town for trick or treating. The stores on main street decorate and hand out candy. Kids in town can trick-or-treat in their neighborhoods, and those from outlying rural areas head for main street.

We'll be taking my grandson to main street.

If I were to hand out candy, it would probably be something I like myself: red vines, cinnamon bears, sour gummies... I'd really prefer to hand out pumpkin cookies and hot apple cider, myself. I bet the hot apple cider would go well around here; it's supposed to be about 18 degrees on Halloween night.

[lonestarnot]

23. bushitler and dicko the fucko have cornered the market on fright, so

I have to settle for skittles.

[KittyWampus]

24. Red vines? is that licorice?

[lonestarnot]

25. Red licorice.

[LWolf]

28. Red licorice.

:9

[nonconformist]

26. Twizzlers and snack size Twix

I always give out what I love.

[mondo joe]

29. I will give out little plastic soldiers dripping wth red paint (blood) because these

kids need to know what is being done in their name!

(Actually, peanut butter cups!)
