that good :-)

3. All Of It
We never answered the door. The last several years the little imps turned into complaining urchins. We heard complaints that we didn't have what THEY liked,didn't like the "fun size" bars,didn't want gum,suckers and on and on the complaints continued. We got fed up with them thinking we are the local 7-11 so now we have a nice large bowl of Snickers,Butterfingers and Milky Ways to chomp on in the evening. :evilgrin:

4. We had very little left...
after years of apartment living and few trick-or-treaters, my best friend moved into a house this year. It made a huge difference. We had a ton of kids come by last night. It was a good thing I stopped at the store on the way over adn bought a couple of extra bags of candy (it was stuff we liked so we would get some candy now that the kid is too old to trick-or-treat) or we wouldn't have had enough.

We saved back about 4 pieces apiece of Milky Ways, 3 Mustketeers, York Peppermint Patty Bats, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups so we did get some candy. And I think there might have been a few pieces left in the bottom of the cauldron, but not much.

It was actually realy cool to have so many kids come by and we didn't need the calories anyway. :-)

10. Snickers and Reese's
I've got about 100 little Snickers and 2 bags of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups left. Only 3 kids stopped by. I think I must have a really bad reputation or something.

11. We get no kids at all
Edited on Sat Nov-01-03 12:05 PM by jumptheshadow
They go to the stores in our neighborhood and ignore the apartment buildings.

However, the partner bought some Toblerone Swiss milk chocolate with honey and nougat minis. Mainly for herself.

16. Leftover candy?
I ran out at 7:45 p.m. after 400+ trick or treaters. Came inside, turned off the downstairs lights and locked up, came upstairs to hide out.

21. Both.
Lots of kids around here, and we obviously have a good reputation for loot.

22. Clark Bars
I bought a boatload of mini Clark Bars earlier this month.
I gave away around 200 to striking grocery store workers as suggested by local volunteers for Wes Clark. A Clark Bar is a real ice-breaker and the strikers didn't seem too annoyed as I promoted Clark over their favorite, local boy Dick Gephardt.

23. We didn't get any Trick Or Treaters
But my Dad some Peanut Butter Cups and I just polished off 3 mini ones and I feel sick.
I bought some of the mini Ice Cream Cones that have the marshmallow tops and they were so good.
