Halloween treats?

I've been trying to figure this out for this year. I don't remember the last time I did the Halloween thing, and I don't want to buy candy 'cause I'll eat it. Does anyone here have suggestions?

My suggestion is to buy your candy AM on the 31st. That way the candy will not be in your house that long. I always run threw all my candy befor the kids run out so there is nothing left for me to eat.

Give out cards (baseball/pokemon, whatever instead - or give out little toys... rather than candy.

There was a house I used to love to go to when I was a kid. The lady their didn't give out candy, she gave out wierd fruit. I'm not talking your ordinary exotic stuff, she'd hand out breadfruit, starfruit, passionfruit, mangos, etc... Things kids don't see everyday, it was awesome!

Those were the places most kids hated. Mom and Dad ended up getting the fruit.

Loose change is good. Get a bunch of quarters - cash is always king.

The people across the street from my parents house always made little bags of popcorn. We always liked that, especially if we were lucky and got a fresh bag :thumbsup:

colored popcorn balls were always cool. We'd eat one or two and get our hands all sticky then we'd start a huge popcorn ball fight.. heh

I always buy our "giveaway" candy late in the season, like the day of. I also buy a few bags of "the good stuff" (ie Snickers, Reese's Cups, 3 Musketeers, etc.), and mix it with the Smarties, lollipops, etc. I never buy anything that I, myself, don't like. That way I get what leftovers the little gobblins don't get.

That defeats the purpose though - he's trying to NOT eat the candy... So you buy stuff you don't like .... :D

:) i buy candy the day after.. :) for me.

kids don't come to any of the apartments I've ever lived in...

I'm hoping nobody comes by my apartment. You have to buzz to be let in, and if punk ass kids buzz me all day/night I'm going to be pissed. :mad:

I bought Reeses Peanut Butter cups for me :D

I buy what I like. I don't need to eat it, but I usually only get 3 or 4 trick or treaters anyway. I put the bowl on the porch, because I'm usually not at home. If I was that first kid, I'd dump the entire bowl in my bag :) I guess I'd rather have a bowl of things I like then having to throw it out.

Besides if you don't want your house tp'd you'd better have the goods :)

You can buy coupon books from Krisy Kreme, and the kids take the coupon to the store and trade them in for a free doughnut. Then there's absolutely no candy around!

Maybe I should buy a bunch of sugar pumpkins and give them out with recipies. Yeah.

That's a wonderful idea, as it doesn't have to be KK. Thanks!

We had an older neighbor-lady that liked to give out little boxes of raisins and pennies each year.
She was well respected by our parents, so we kids suffered through it.

Like mal mentioned above, you could give out little toys, you know, like stuff that you might find in a gumball machine.
I remember novelty erasers and water-squirting rings were popular when I was a kid. :D

I always ended up chewing on those too heh
