Trick or Treat times ?

Charcoal biquettes ? I think not. We always give out those BIG assed candy bars...the full sized mammer-jammers. None of that "fun sized" stuff in this house. We figure if the little fellers go to the trouble of getting all dressed up that it's incumbent on us to get'em as jacked up on sugar as we possibly can. BTW, we also have hot cider for the parents...both "regular" and <eh-hem> "fortified".

Still getting a bit of the heeby-jeebies doing this stuff on the holy day...I'm thinking I might have to throw in a couple of extra "Our Fathers" and "Hail Mary's" this week.

BIG candy bars!!! you know those are the big guns for the kids right? i am positive you get squeals. and your address would be.............. of course i am asking because of the "fortified" cider.

We got into the habit of giving out the "big bars" because the kids remember who hooked them with good stuff and dont "egg" your house.

Rat on brutha...Rat on.

Giving out apples on the other hand just about guarantees your house a good working over...and rightfully so I might add.

My dad has worked in the corporate food sales for as long as I can remember, so he always had a good product hookup for Halloween.

Back in the 80s and early 90s my mom gave out Nestle Hot Chocolate. Kids loved it and would come back a few extra times. As my mom wasn't footing the bill, she was happy to get to know the neighborhood kids, see the costumes, and keep everyone happy.

Too bad "expense accounts" have tighter strings now. Those were the days of little accountability. And, well, you see where that got the economy!

wow..... i feel so naive sometimes. could that really be the reason some people give out "good" candy? when i used to give it out, i bought a variety, but it was all the regular funsize kind. Personally, i would think that a child would be happy getting more little ones that 1 big one.

............... as i typed it out i thought about it. then again the older kids 6+ i would think, are going to be smarter and realize they are getting more with the big ones.
