    As kids, my brothers and I would go through our candy and keep what we liked and then put what we didn't like in a pile. we would then pick out our favorites from the misc. candy pile and then put the rest out for guests. Of course we always set some aside for my parents as well. my mom loves reeses peanut butter cups.

    as far as portion control goes....my halloween candy would last me until right up to Christmas and sometimes even longer.

    I can't STAND those peanut-butter taffy things - ya know, they come in orange and black wrappers. Bleeech.

    My kids do like the toys - yo-yo's, balls, etc.

    I love those-- and MaryJane's-- and Goldenberg's Peanut Chews-- and the little caramel thingies with the white substance inside-- never have been sure what it was-- but I loved it just the same.

    OMG - I forgot about the pseudo-camel things with the mystery white stuff!!! :laugh: :laugh: :sick: :laugh: :laugh:

    I DO like Mary Jane's and that Honey Bee candy-thing (I can't remember what it's called).

    Lol. I love smarties!! I was totally addicted as a kid and those along with chocolate bars were my absolute FAVORITE things to get! (I was actually a very skinny kid, btw, it's only in the last couple years that my weight has become an issue - ironically, since I quit eating candy in mind-blowing amounts).

    Not so sure about candy corn, though! I used to like nibbling different colors on each piece and trying to detect a taste difference (smallest was the best of course) but now I find it cloying. Oh well.

    Can I actually have candy on Halloween?? :laugh:

    The best houses in my neighborhood gave soda (we mapped out our route so we could get a drink about half way, lol) and cotton candy, that they made on their porch!

    We're giving out bite size candies, but apparently our complex gets mobbed, so they will have to deal. :laugh:

    I will be the one passing out socialism pamphlets with a penny taped to it. :laugh:

    We have a mondo long driveway, with woods on either side. Kid's practically never come to our house, because it's dark and creepy.... We've tried putting out super cool decorations, even stringing lights all the way down the driveway, but to no avail. Maybe full sized candy bars and cans of soda given to the few who brave the distance. Of course, then we'll get mobbed and run out and then get tp'd and egged :laugh:
