What are you giving out this year?
As of now, I have some Charms Candy Corn Lollipops, Jolly Rancher Caramel Apple Pops, Airheads (the kids in this neighborhood really love them) and Payday Bars. I wanted another chocolate item and may still pick that up, probably the Unreal Peanut Butter Cups again, like last year. I try to balance the offerings so that there’s something gluten free, something nut free and something with chocolate and hopefully nothing that has slave chocolate in it.
The best news? After Halloween candy sales start tomorrow ...
UPDATE: I did go shopping at lunch today at Whole Foods and found individually wrapped Justin’s Peanut Butter Cups (on sale, 2 packages for $5.00) and Endangered Species Milk Chocolate Bug Bites (same sale price). CVS has stopped carrying the UNREAL brand. So it’s a chocolatey and hopefully ethically sourced Halloween.

Commenting is not available in this channel entry.Cybele, I’ve been using that best news line for years. (I say the same thing about February 15 and Valentine’s Day, too.)
Johnny, I’m always excited to go to the tragic KMart near my office because they often end up with large quantities of candy at 90% off. I think I bought 20 pounds of Wonka trick-or-treat stuff for $5 two years ago.
Last year was mostly things that made me happy: those orange & black Peanut Butter Kisses for 6 cents a bag.
It’s 8 45 here and I just shut the door, we have so much candy left. I think we only got maybe 30 kids. We gave away full sized bars, Nestle Crunch, Hershey Bars, peanut butter cups, Baby Ruth’s etc. My husband reeeeeallly wanted to be The House with the Full Sized Candy Bars.
I don’t like Nestle at all.
Next year we are going back to Yummy Earth or something like that. I have been looking all over for those Unreal Mnms because we picked up some regular mnms for a holiday and they were super gross. I could taste the artificial colors. Which is creepy. My kids did not like them either.
The interesting thing we gave out was Angry Birds ring pops. They were colored and shaped to look like the bird/pig. Bought myself a few See’s to enjoy myself. Figured out I like the Milk Chocolate California Toffee w Almonds because it’s pretty salty.
