I don’t have any non-chocolate. And I will decide later what I pass out and what I keep for myself…but much the same (Reese’s and KitKats and Hershey bars, as well as Twix and other Mars products. No Almond Joy/Mounds, because coconut has the texture of grass). I will have to lock the dogs up – they’re going to freak out every time the doorbell rings.

Happy Halloween!

We are handing out chips for the first time ever this year in a very conscious attempt to stop me from eating the chocolate! The number of kids we get is highly variable and if we have a lot of leftovers I have no self-control.

I got Milky Ways and Twix because those are my favorites and I will eat the rest of them when we get almost no trick or treaters. (We live at the very end of a long road with a lot of houses where no one is home.) I also have a separate bin of toys for my teal pumpkin project bucket.

Milky Way, Twix, Hersheys, Caramels. We only got a small amount – we will leave it in a bowl on our front porch while we go walking around the neighborhood. This is, like, the only time we get to socialize with some of our neighbors!

We have Three Musketeers, Kit Kat, Skittles and Starburst. With a kiddo with a nut allergy, we try to be sensitive to such things. We also have trick or treat packs of Pokémon cards.

Nothing. :p And not because I’m stingy, or don’t like Halloween… we just don’t get any trick-or-treaters in our condo building — one of the few things I miss about our house! We used to buy the multipacks with KitKats, Aeros, Coffee Crisps and Smarties.

My husband always wants to get the pure sugar (non-chocolate) candy for the trick-or-treaters, like Twizzlers, Skittles, and the like. I got those and also got an assorted bag of chocolate this year at my sons’ urging. 😉

Like you, I am the only one who likes Almond Joy, so I always get them after the “haul” is sorted.

I just got back from the store. I bought kit kats, snickers, ring pops, and fun dip. This will be my first time passing out candy at my house.

Nothing. I will do what I have done every year of my life. Turn out the lights. I utterly despise Halloween, and always have. I never went trick or treating as a kid, and the only time I dressed up was when it got me out of gym class! Happily, my boyfriend feels the same way so while I may go trick or treating with his kids- his daughter asked me over a month ago- I won’t be handing anything out at either of our homes.

We get a mix of chocolate and non chocolate but I hand out the non first because I like it less. And I love almond joy!!

I laughed at this – “we managed not to eat all of it before today. (I cannot say the same about other years.) ” Congratulations!!!
Your stash sounds yummy. I’ve just looked up Almond Joy and they sound delish. Similar to the Bounty bars that I like.
