I buy hundreds of dollars of candy and buy other things for kids who have parents who don't want them to get candy and I make Halloween soaps.

I make nothing. I do have lots of candy, however, usually one made by the Mars Corporation since that is where I worked for quite a number of years. I'll be heading out to BJ's this weekend to buy my candy in bulk.

My wife goes with the standard, min-versions of all the candy I grew up sold in bulk bags this time of year. I priced out the contents and it came to a whopping 13 cents for a bite and half of candy! These guys are making a fortune selling less for more! In addition to handing sugar, monster-makers and cavity producing products out, I am giving out mini-flashlights that come in different colors with a key chain too! Bought a package online for 70 of them, costing about $20, applied Amazon credit card credits, and spent about $12. Not bad to make all these people happy don't you think?

I buy little Halloween bags and stuff each one with 5 pieces of candy.  This year the bags include: 

Peanut M&Ms

Reeses Peanut Butter Cups

Twix 

Snickers  Regular 

Peanut Butter Snickers 

The bags are tied off with a black and orange ribbon. 

One lucky bag has a $5.00 bill in it and another lucky bag has a $10 bill in it. 

The kids will bet to choose the bag from the pumpkin.

We no longer provide treats. The kids know that treats are available at the houses with the front lights on in our community.

Hi bob we don't get any trick or treaters and haven't for years.  We might get the young kids (little ones) but that's a handful if that.  So I will pick up some candy but I have no idea what yet.  I don't like candy bars so it's a whatever for me.  Dark Chocolate.....count me in!

We have a gated community for our home and never have trick-or-treaters. However, I do have candy available at the office for people who bring their children in as they trick-or-treat downtown.

I bought some bags of candy today at costco and at walmart.  Way cheaper at walmart.  Going to put a bowl out for the kids.  I've made a playlist of halloween themed songs to play out one of the windows.  Debating whether to put up a monitor and do videos or just leave it at songs.  Not like the kids will know the theme to Hellraiser and videos won't help that.  The others are pretty fun though.  Number of the Beast by Iron Maiden, Dragula and Living Dead Girl by Rob Zombie, Halloween by King Diamond, Chainsaw Massacre by Mortician, Creeping Death by Metallica, and Raining Blood by Slayer... just to name a few.  Have some movie themes in there as well.

 

But me, I'll be at the block party that starts nextdoor to me enjoying the tacos.

Good morning Bob. When I lived in Florida plenty of candy since we usually got up to 200 kids. Here in the sky of downtown Chicago the building does not allow tick or treaters. My son's building allows it for units who sign up in advance.

Spooktacular local event, fund a ton of candy to help trick or treaters with their sweet tooth addiction. Love the holiday event and in my area of the planet, it is a big deal!

I'm in a gated community these days, no decorations, no door knocks here. However my teen daughter loves Halloween, so I still keep a giant box of decorations and outfits for her to use. I sometimes have some special  makeup and hair decor if I walk around that day. No candies anymore, however.

We do not have trick or treaters, although we always buy a "just in case" bag. Hubby eats it.

I buy a variety of chocolate bars and a few specialty candies (Nerds, Swedish Fish, Sour Patch Kids, etc.). The chocolate bars will include Mounds (which may or may not last until Halloween), Snickers bars, and Heath bars (Hubby's favorite). Of course I'll try once again not to overdo it so we don't have many leftovers.

Protective gear now that I have Moxzilla. I can't hand out candy with her here, Luna loved to dress up and see the kids come to the door Moxie sees it as the Taliban! So we have to go dark.

We get literally ZERO trick-or-treaters in our current home so, we're looking forward to getting back in the city for that reason too! We love seeing the kiddos and giving them candy! We give larger sized Reece's, Hershey's & Snickers bars.

I buy them the DAY before so I won't be tempted - because I give out the candy bars that are my favorites! LOL
