Halloween Candy. Goodie-Roonie or Eh?

[staropeace]

Lol, one Easter I became very popular when the stores sold out of Easter bunnies too soon. I have molds for that.

I like the old fashioned popcorn ball, and also Barnum's Animals crackers. Nothing takes me back like those!

My son tried the candy corn last week for the first time ever. He started sending me weird texts about it.

I liked the first two candy reviews by Jillian and Addie fushingfeef ♥♥

I give out peanut free stuff in case there's any left over, so I can eat it. An added bonus, a few years ago two young girls came to my door and one asked if I had any peanut free candy because her friend was allergic. I was able to tell them they were in luck...all my candy was peanut free, and I said she could have two of each, to make up for the houses she wouldn't get anything from. And the other girl got two of each for keeping her friend safe.

My favourite as a kid was Sugar Daddies. But my mom always begged one off of each of us. My second favourite was candy kisses. And after years of the safe ones being gone...the peanut free ones are back.

I buy treats for over 100 kids. I run out every year. It's such a good neighbourhood for t&t, people who moved away years ago drive back to go through here. Usually I just sit outside with a coffee. It's not worth going inside between groups.

That is very considerate of you (with the peanut free stuff).

My son is allergic so for years I would take whatever peanut candy he picked up trick or treating to work the next day after Halloween - and there was a lot of it!

He does not have a severe allergy so he could still eat the other stuff even after it had been next to the peanutty candy.

Hi!

What Halloween candy do you give?

What Halloween candies did you get that were Yay! or ehh, not so much yay?

Candied/Caramel apples?

My kids liked the chocolate candies. The candy corn? Not so much.


Did ANYONE get a rock? Ha!

Peace.

Not because they are supposedly better than some candies - I just like the citrus flavour!

Anyone else here old enough to remember when people sometimes gave you apples for trick or treat, until the big razor blade in the apples rumor went around?

Or when we Catholics WERE FORCED to do trick or treat for UNICEF? And when they found out UNICEF was funding abortions they ended the tradition.

I remember going door to door with a dumb Unicef box on a string around my neck, looking for pennies. (Plus we had to figure out how to get those boxes together too).

and I remember the old "razor blade in the apple" scare as well.

Our were those little single serving milk cartons with UNICEF on them and a little slot for coins. If you tried to open it you destroyed the carton and the jig was up. They probably didn't trust us. A good thing looking back.

That's not a bottle of Yemenade, you know.
