Re: Halloween Candy

We live in a neighborhood FULL of kids. We have come to expect probably about 100 kids. It starts at about 6 PM with the little ones, and usually builds up to an almost constant knock by about 8:30. It ends pretty much by 9:30. Before the trick-or-treating starts, there is a neighborhood party and costume parade.

We live in a semi-rural area in a big subdivision, so we also get a lot of the more rural kids being driven into the neighborhood to trick-or-treat. We got the same thing when we lived on the extreme south of the metro. Seems that if you live near a trailer park you get a whole lot of kids, too.

We usually get about 8-10 Lbs of assorted candies, and really try to give most of it away since we have two little ones that will be coming home with loot of their own.

Re: Halloween Candy

Were not supporters of Halloween here but we like to have the family bring the tots and we have a bonfire and roast hot dogs and marshmallows and usually dope them up with some sugary treats just to have a nice fun evening.

Re: Halloween Candy

We get maybe 20 to 30 kids.
I bought 2 bags of candy the other day.I bag of mini Hershey bars and a bag of Butter Fingers...
Looked in the cabinet this morning....one Hershey bar and about 5 Butter fingers left!:eek:

I think the little woman has been stealing...:mad:

Now i got to go buy more....:rolleyes:

LOL crack me up!!

man they do go down good with a glass of milk after supper, around news time!!! ;)

The trick is to get candy you DO NOT like, so it will last till the kids come!

You'll have to find out what the Admiral doesn't like! :p
