    We are giving out Butterfingers, Snickers, Twix, Reece's Peanut Butter Cups, Kit Kats and Milky Ways. These all happen to be my favorites, in case we have anything leftover

    I go thru 12 bags a candy within 2 hrs. I only give out 1 piece per child. When it's gone, I turn off the lights.

    I wont be home, I have to work tonight. Turning off the light, turning up the radio so the dogs don't freak out too bad about the noises around.

    On the upside, I didn't blow my food budget on candy. Not that I wont blow it on something else later. smirk!

    Our Beggar's Night was last night. I never buy candy because we arent' home to hand it out. Next year, I might do buy a bag or two and leave in a bowl on the front step.

    The kids received a wide assortment of candies. They got quite a few full sized candy bars!

    We typically do not get and trick or treating kids so nothing. Since DS and DD are too old for trick or treating, I get them a big bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups each.

    I am thinking about taking the four year old who lives across the street a goody bag with some candy, crayons, and a few other "prizes". I fondly remember the lady across the street doing this for me when I was younger, then she continued and did it for my kids, too.

    No trick or treaters here so no candy in the house. My fav's are butterfingers, whoppers malted milk balls & Hershey's special dark. Mmm. I like the idea you have for your neighbors child Neeley. Growing up my kids were lucky enough to get our older neighbors candy the day after Halloween. Nobody ever came but she was ready with the good candy, lol. My kids were thrilled.
