I hate having temptations in the house, so I'm hoping the candy is all gone by the end of the night.

What are you passing out this year?

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

We're doing Kit-Kats, Nestle Crunch Bars & Hershey Bars (fun size) - all the brands I had coupons for :)

ETA: Well, guess I got my wish. Some greedy kid(s) took all the candy while I was feeding my kids dinner & getting their costumes on. Never again will I TRY to be nice and put out a bowl when I'm not able to get to the door.

We picked Kit-Kats and Almond Joys. The almond joys wouldn't stop calling me.....so I HAD to eat them to shut them up. The half dozen left, out of the bag of 30, are so scared to be next that they've finally shut up. That and I've had a bellyache since I opened the bag a week ago. I wonder why. ;)

We don't hand out candy because we both go with our children.

HOWever, this year my parents came for a visit (long distance) and want to take the kids. Fine. But they also brought us a GIGANTIC box of Reeses PB cups (like, megastore box...my aunt works at Hershey's.) So I'm in a conundrum. Do we give away 100 regular size candy bars and make all the neighborhood kids happy, or do I hoard them and stay fat? :)

Well, I got a big variety pack bag so there's Reece's PB Cups, Kit Kats, Whoppers and Hershey bars in there. And I got a bag of candy corn packets and a big box of packets of fruit snacks. And then hubby didn't know all that I had gotten so he ended up getting a 2 bags of gummy eyeballs and a bunch of glow bracelets from the dollar store. Hubby now thinks we should just keep the chocolate for ourselves. I'm thinking we will just be very generous and be the most popular stop in the neighborhood. Hubby is whining about the chocolate we'll give out that he won't get to eat himself. And I'm like, dude! I can buy more of it tomorrow AND it will be 75% off!

I don't like Almond Joys - so my husband bought a bag of them!!! Dontcha just gotta love him?

We have a couple of bags - we typically don't get more than 30 Trick or Treaters so we don't keep much...I have a bag of the pretzels...snickers, recesses peanut butter cups...and almond joy...

if the recesses and snickers don't go - we'll use them for movie night!!

Much to the disappointment of the kids, I do dollar-store candy (LOL)! It doesn't tempt me as much, and I get lollipops, etc. so it's still somewhat fun for the kiddos. Then I eat some of my sons, since he's only 4.5 years old. We do a couple pieces at lunch and at dinner so it's a fun treat, but not over the top.

I had a fun size snickers already (and I have to give props - this is the FIRST year we haven't eaten the candy prior to Halloween - usually have to make multiple trips haha) but we've all been cutting back on our sugar (hubby and I) so we've been able to resist.

On that note - no reese's peanut butter cups here cause I am a junkie and will eat them all - but the snickers, tootsie pops, and M&ms (plain and peanut) and I will raid the kiddos when they get home! haha

Oh my gosh - a couple of nights ago, very late, I found myself binge-ing on Reese Cups intended for Halloween night. So pathetic.

I CAN'T WAIT until Halloween is over! :P

PS: We are also handing out Snickers (another lethal temptation for me, especially frozen).

We have Kit-Kats too. My daughter picked them because they are her favorite. She also added everything she got at her schools party today. There are only a few things (candy) that she will eat. I would suggest giving big handfuls toward the end of the evening.
