squibble Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 What's a fun candy to give out? My neighbor trumped my assortment of chocolate candy bars last year by giving out bracelets that glow in the dark. Do kids like candy bracelets and necklaces? Wax fangs filled with syrupy stuff?

Sneakeater Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I used to LOVE the wax fangs filled with syrupy stuff. But that was half a century ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eatmywords Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 The worst Halloween candy was apples. Red delicious and McIntosh were popular if memory serves. We’d throw a few at each other and the rest were saved for mom who’d make an apple cake or tarte tatin. In retrospect, I suppose they weren’t so bad. Ooooh,you have reminded me of caramel apples and candy apples. The best thing about Halloween in my opinion. But not really trick-or-treat material. I put them in a kid's top ten most memorable treats. The texture, stickiness, color, apple mixing with crackling shell. Sensory overload. Like it was yesterday I remember my first. Best thing ever. And then the caramel version years later. Even better but less shock value. I haven’t had either in, hmmmm, 20yrs? I can’t wait to see my daughter bite into her first. That will be something. Maybe we'll share one of each. Squib, The best candy to offer is the one you pretend you ran out of. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tsquare Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I was tempted by the bag of assorted gory body parts. But they weren't very interesting. I think they were gummy candy shaped like teeth, noses, ears, with scars or something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Josh Karpf Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Halloween: Best Evangelistic Time of the Year? By Jeff Schapiro | Christian Post Reporter Mon, Oct. 31 2011 http://www.christianpost.com/news/gospel-tracts-spread-christian-message-during-halloween-59901/ The Christian community is divided over how to approach Halloween, some saying it is a pagan holiday Christians should avoid while others argue that there is no better time for ministry. . . . Calvin Hekman, director of The Tract League, says that it would be wise for Christians to also pass out candy when they pass out tracts to trick-or-treaters. “It's important to be generous and courteous when we present the Gospel,” Hekman told The Christian Post in an interview on Monday. . . .

tsquare Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 The first to go were the mini bags of seasoned broad beans from Jing Jing market. I don't think they knew what they chose - the bags just looked different from everything else. The rest were standard mini bars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lippy Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I tried one of our leftover peanut cups. How do they pack so much sugar into such a small package? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
