So, what candy bars that were not given out for Halloween are you now eating? Mine are KitKats. What about you?

1. Eat one for me... After 10 straight years of no Halloweeners despite decorating and buying candy...

(the little kids go out early with parents to homes of other parents in their social circle, and the older kids go to "the cooler' neighborhoods, I guess... )

I didn't buy any. I would have felt awful if some had come and scrambled for something to give them, but alas. None. And now, I may start craving chocolate, but I don't have any. Good for the hips, I guess, but...

3. My husband buys the candy that we like. I hear you about the kids. I think we only had 10, Now we have all of this candy

Didn't have a whole lot of candy left that I liked, I am not a huge chocolate lover. Just the KitKats.

2. Publix Milk Chocolate covered almonds.

The things are disgusting delicious.
Don't buy them....You'll be buying a size clothes..

5. I have KitKats and Hershey's Chocolate bars.

Both are the 'snack size' of those. My ex has a large bag of 'Smarties' in the typical size for them.

7. Thank you House of Roberts. Mine are the snack size, too

6. We had zero kids this year, and now have a full box of full-size bars from Costco.

The last couple of years we had a few, and one family with a kid that *really* liked getting the full-size bars instead of the (allegedly) 'fun' size (who's idea of 'fun' was that??).

They'd show up and I'd open the door and tell the kids 'take 2'. On his way down the front stairs last year he yelled out, "Mom, this house has the BEST candy! Look! FULL SIZE!!!"

Filled my heart with joy to see how this one little gesture really brightened this kid's day.

Now we have a good assortment of Butterfinger, Baby Ruth, 100 Grand, and Crunch to sustain us for the next several months.

9. What a great post. Thank you very much, SeattleVet. Oh yes, did the kid come back this year?

[SeattleVet]

11. No - this year we had zero!

We're on a busy street, and the local businesses have a thing for the kids a week before. We usually get 2 or 3 families, but there are no more kids on the block and it was rainy and nasty out.

8. Sen-Sen. I got lots of it. For some reason none of the little tykes wanted it. ...

Breath mint or candy? How about both? The licorice-scented sweet known as Sen-Sen was also marketed as a "breath perfume" in the late 1800s.

[debm55]

10. I wonder why. LOL, I hate to break it to you, marble falls. But I would have taken and given it to my brother.

[SeattleVet]

12. I used to love Sen-Sen when I was a kid. Didn't know it was still being made!

(Of course, I was that 'weird' kid that also liked Blackjack licorice gum and Choward's Violet Candy.)

[marble falls]

13. I've always had a taste for licorice and anise, but I also loved the little box it used to come in.

They were blue before they were red. My grandfather got me hooked on them.

14. Not candy. Small bags of cheddar Sun Chips

We had less than 10 show up. The last little fellow was half way down the driveway when he pulled out the bag, held it up and shouted "thank you for these."

[debm55]

17. How sweet, fargone. I might try those Sun Chips next year. Thanks for the idea.

20. Some Of Everything

We bought the big bags of the M&M/Mars minis. Milky Way, Snickers, 3 Muskateers & Twix.
I was just grabbing 4 or 5 and throwing them in the bags.
So, it was random what the kids got and random what we had left over.
Same with the bags of chips.

[debm55]

21. That's a good idea to get rid of the stuff. I would have kept the chips though. They are good on sandwiches. Thanks
