 B/c I am the meanest mother in the world, I will be handing out the candy that my kids collect while Trick or Treating. They each get to keep five pieces, the rest goes in the trash or the bags of other kids. Usually around 9 at night we get a large group of teenagers, I hand them a ziplock with what is left from the day and then turn off my light LOL

LOL Well, what I didn't post (b/c it would tarnish my mean ass mother reputation) is that for their cooperation in this they each get to pick out a toy (or video game) that they want. So it costs me a ton, but it's worth it not to have them be sugared up ******** for hours on end. I am not above bribery and pay off's to get a few hours of peace.

We carve lots of pumpkins, usually around 8 or 9 of them and hand out candy.  I like to dress up and see the kids when they come to the door, the big hit is usually my bf's 130lb dog.  I try to make sure there isn't much candy left at the end of the night even if that means giving fistfuls to some kids.

I'm giving out kettle corn and pretzels. Target sells them in little snack bags in the "candy alternative" aisle.

I was just at costco and saw cannisters of utz pretzels wrapped in halloween packaging- looks like a good choice because if you slip it's not so bad

I'm locking the doors and switching the lights off!  I figure the last thing our overindulged neighborhood kids need is more candy. 

But in case you think I'm the halloween equivalent of the grinch, I'm buying a bucket load of candy and taking it to a homeless shelter.  Figure those poor kids need treats more than anyone else these days.

Nice idea about the shelter, but I love seeing the kids in their costumes!  i'll opt in and buy the pretzels and some caandy, mix it all up in a big bowl and let the little ghouls and goblins go crazy

    Can I go with?   I want to tell those kids that their parents are taking candy from the mouths of the children of working tax paying citizens.....that pay for their awesome accommodations.....**** it's like the Hilton there....right? 

    Then I'm going to tell all those kids that there......IS NO SANTA!  AND.....even if there was ....he sure as hell doesn't deliver **** to homeless shelters!  Bag of candy....to get me into the shelter.....5.00 ............looks on their faces when I tell them that? ......Priceless!     hahahahaha!
