Halloween Costumes and Candy

Halloween Costumes and Candy ~ What kind of candy do you hand out?  Do you wear a costume?

Each year our neighborhood has lots of trick-or-treaters on Halloween night and I enjoy handing out candy almost as much as the kids enjoy getting it.  The scary masks my husband and I put on are always quickly removed since the little kids are easily frightened.  Maybe this year I will buy something friendlier to wear. 

I decided to hand out mini M&Ms this year since I end up treating myself to the mini Snickers bars that I traditionally hand out.  Actually, I also like M&Ms or any chocolate candy.

The most popular Halloween costumes this year are:

  • Michael Jackson
  • (Harry Potter) Gryffindor
  • The Vampire
  • Miley Cyrus
  • Star Trek
  • Zombie
  • GI Joe Ninja
  • Hermione Granger

I find this kind of hard to believe but who knows...

From the www.hersheys.com website:  "To help trick-or-treaters map their routes this Halloween, Hershey conducted a national survey to find out which houses were handing out their favorite Hershey treats. Following are some "tricks" to increase the odds of receiving desired "treats":

  • Houses with black shutters are 77 percent more likely to hand out Kit Kat Wafer Bars and trick-or-treaters have a 37 percent greater chance of scaring up a Kit Kat Wafer Bar from a ranch house.
  • Reese's Peanut Butter Cup lovers should forego ranch houses and opt instead to ring the bell of two-story houses where they'll have a 26 percent greater chance of receiving the perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter.
  • Knock on brown doors if seeking Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bars. Trick-or-treaters have a 32 percent greater chance of receiving a Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar from homes with brown doors."

Hi Carl & Ceil, I don't like to give out candy that I wouldn't eat myself.  :o)

Hi Dale, I will be curious to see what costumes are most popular in my neighborhood.

We bought three big bags of candy but have eaten some of it.  I need to get one more bag.  Happy Halloween, Ann.
