Annual Halloween Candy Rant
- Thread starter Clonehomer
- Start date
I am a chocoholic and although it doesn't work for Halloween, because of expense the last few years I've resorted to a candy dish on the coffee table filled with milk chocolate chips purchased at Fareway in the Family size bag or regular chips from Sam's Club. Occasionally I grab a large bag of Reese's cups from Dollar General. If you gotta have chocolate, you gotta have chocolate.
I think my wife is planning on giving out full size candy bars this year. The bags of smaller bars/candies keep getting smaller and more expensive. In the past she has given out multiples of the smaller bars/candies anyway. I just don’t ask how much she spends and she doesn’t tell. She really enjoys handing out the treats to the kids.
Sam's has some decent varieties, No 100 grand for ya though, Although I dont know if I have ever seen that in a variety pack.
Here is a few:

Still too warm to ship chocolate. It’ll melt while sitting on my porch during the day.
No way I’m going to hate on the advancement of Reese’s. But if you wanted to start a poll for 2nd best or hidden gem candies…
I’d put Goodbar out there. Just a solid candy. And the mini size bars are great for smores.

Just curious anyone have a Mr Beast candy bar? I had a milk chocolate one and thought it was average. Not as good as a normal
Hershey bar. I have only tried one of his candy bars though

The last few years we've given out little toys like super bounce balls, sticky hand slippers, flashing rings, whistles, Halloween themed erasers, etc. Kids love them. Plus we don't have to worry about peanut or other allergies.
I also get a kick out of hearing our whistles throughout the neighborhood all night long.

Yeah I checked again and my CVS is just insanely stupid deal on a bag of only 60 tiny candy bars for $32.00. Even at that same overpriced drug store you could get 80 little bars of the same kinds in 4 bags for less money ($6 a bag for those).
For the first time in several decades I ate some M&Ms. Now, everyone old enough questions whether their senses have aged and if that's the reason things taste, sound, or smell differently. But, I was so dismayed about the M&Ms that I did some digging. Only to learn they changed their recipe and added more crap to increase their margins. There needs to be a movement to go back to cane sugar, dark chocolate, and fewer preservatives. Heck, I'd be ok paying a tad more if Mars created "M&Ms Classic".
We've been doing full-size the past several years, usually buy a few boxes of assorted from Costco, then supplement with fun-size packs of some non-chocolate/peanut varieties.
Something else that has been a lot of fun is adding a potato to our bowl of candy. We just put one plain potato on top of the candy before each group of kids come, you'd be shocked how many of them pick the potato over all the candy. Saw it on tiktok a few years ago, and now we're known as the 'potato house'.
