    A. Twelve or less
    B. Goal is zero, which means not starting so I don’t have to start.

    We had 5, including Land Shark. I had one mini-Butterfinger. TOL will eat the rest, over the next 12 months. Damn, she could ALWAYS resist temptation. ;)

    We have lived here for 10 years now and we have never had a single trick or treater ring the bell, so no candy in our house at all.

    We have a funny thing in our neighborhood. If you don't stand at the end of the driveway, trick-or-treaters won't come to the door. I think once a few neighbors started that tradition, everyone had to comply or end up with a lot of candy left over. I don't know how many kids came by (my wife was "manning the driveway"), but my sense is probably ~50?

    I ate NO candy. The last few trick-or-treaters to come by our driveway got huge handfuls of candy to finish off the stash!

    Zero trick or treaters at our door. I can't remember how many years ago since we last had any. Therefore, no candy in the house however baked goods is another story.

    No trick or treaters. Sad, but reality. So, no candy.

    Pleased to say “mission accomplished”, and that I consumed no Halloween candy. Someone made the startlingly obvious comment on Connect that we all seem to somehow forget - there’s no candy available at Halloween that isn’t available year round. Okay, given that, why let it have power over us?

    On to Thanksgiving! 😉

    Oh, gosh, I remember that! They haven’t done that as an exercise in Studios the past two years, but they’ve articulated the concept of pre-planning what you’re going to take based on what’s truly special, etc. This will be the first year of making the meal where I haven’t made a pecan pie, a pumpkin pie, and an apple pie.

    You can make a very tasty crustless pumpkin pie. Very tasty, and low points.

    I had one, one, bite size 3 Musketeers. My fave as a kid. It was awful.

    Not many kids.
