If you can give a quarter then give it. If not two dimes seem nice.

That's usually when you START giving out candy--you aren't out with your children.

We ALWAYS went to older people's houses when I was a kid.  

 Plus, it drives the dogs crazy.

Think about the age of the kid and if they will put it in their mouth.

You can get all kinds of things that are not food to give out.

Those little loot bag games come 8 to a pack.

A pack of erasers can have as many as twenty in it.

If you stop by McDonalds you can get a pack of coupons for a free ice cream cone.

In the toy Aisle you can get bags of little animals to give out.

Or the little pots of Play-doh. They come in multipacks and about the size of an egg.

So many things to give out that isn't food.

We have Milky Ways, Snickers, M&M's, and Three Musketeer's. I will be making fresh popcorn balls in the morning and wrapping them individually. We can still give homemade treats here and they are welcomed.
DH's brother, the dentist, gives out apples, toothbrushes and toothpaste. IMHO, that would be a bummer. One for the "no fun" list.

Okay, I gotta say. Coming from a family of nine kids we NEVER had our own tube of toothpaste. This is going to sound so stupid but when we went to the dentist once a year my mom would keep the toothpaste for my dad when he traveled. We got to keep our toothbrush but I adored getting those little tubes of toothpaste. They were ALL MINE!

We can't give out candy, because if it's in the house at all, it becomes see-food.

So we give out coins.

Spouse wants to give each kid 20 cents in (mostly) pennies, so it sounds like a lot falling into their bags / plastic pumpkins.

I want to give each kid a quarter.

She says if we do that, a lot of them will come back to our door over and over.

What do you think?

 

 Give them the Quarter.  If they come back - they get a penny the second time.

 We are just north of Philadelphia.  And yes, we are a popular street.  We average about 160 ToTers.  Plus adults.  

Two years ago, I did drunken gummy worms.  Last year, the pina colada bites.  I had people asking where were the worms.  Forgot to do them this year too.

 That would get me kicked right out of Utah!!!  This particular neighborhood anyway.

I like it your way!  I love to mix myself a good rum n' cider before I head out with the kids.  Helps keep me warm and enthusiastic!  Haha :)

Nothing. I'm giving out nothing.

For the first time I can ever remember in my adult life, I won't be home for the trick-or-treaters.

Have to go to a wake in Boston, and we'll be gone from about 4:30 to 8:00.

It actually feels very liberating to not buy candy.

I gave out tons of candy at work last night. It was fun, but very tiring.

I hope I get to give out candy with the way it's raining here. But we have to leave around 7:00 anyway to go out so probably going to have lots of leftover candy this year :(

If you go to the Mars factory to Trick or Treat they give you a big bag of full sized candy bars.

We've had 12 kids so far, most 10 or younger.

One little boy saw I was pouring coins in his bag and yelled, "DAD !!! MONEY !!!!!".

Very cute.

Tonight was at success. 185 rice crispy treats and 1 quart each of pina colada bites and orange creamsicle bites. And we got beers from a trick or treating family.

We don't get trick-or-treaters out here. Which is sad, I loved passing out candy. So instead, mom and I spent last night (tot here) putting together treat bags for her class. They included:

2 packs of whoppers
2 novelty erasers
Pair of plastic fangs
2 fun size chocolate bars (milky way/crunch/butterfingers)
Halloween ring pop
Mini box of lemon heads
3 eyeball gum balls
Glow-in-the-dark sticker
Mini bag of Cheetos

Lemonheads svck. Why? Because they are addictive and you eat them until your tongue is raw!

I used to eat them in an odd way. One at a time, I would put them in my mouth and chew off the outer lemony coveting and then suck on the hard candy center until it was gone.

Crazy I know.
