Those little Bible stories books. Pennies. 1 cent toy cars. Huge green and yellow colored popcorn balls with whole kernels that break teeth. Fake Smarties. 1 or 2 penny candies.

Mounds,

Preferably her’s!
Boom. Winner Winner chicken dinner.

But on the candy side ( yes I knew a Candy..2 actually and dated 1) I preferred to receive snickers and almond joy. Popcorn balls were special because I knew they were homemade and that lady put love and effort into it

Never in a million years would I eat a popcorn ball some random made in their kitchen. Far too many unknowns.

Sour patch kids and Twix

I’m a fan of the fun size Nestle Crunch and 100 Grand bars. I usually buy those to hand out and then hope all the kids in the neighborhood stay home.

I’m with you, 100 Grand bars. Lost a tooth in one after swimming lessons roughly 39 years ago.

what are those things called wrapped in either black or orange blank wrappers.. it's like a peanut butter cross with caramel or something.. no idea what they are called.. they don't taste that great either, but it's what I think of when I think of halloween candy.

Edit: I guess they are called circus peanuts:

Way too many stories of needles and razor blades in popcorn balls over the years.
Even if there’s no dangerous foreign objects…you have no idea how clean someone, their house and kitchen are. They could have been smoking Virginia slims dropping ash into their mouse dropping mixing bowl with their unwashed *** hands stirring the popcorn for all you know. I never eat food made by someone unless I know and trust their hygiene levels and have been in their kitchen.

I have a neighbor who gives the parents cans of Shiner Bock while the kids are trick-or-treating. That guy could run over my cat with his car and I wouldn't hold a grudge.

Guess we're a different era and I'm from a small town where we knew each other.

Those were called tricks when I was a kid.

Shock tarts were probably my #1 many years ago.

Not in the small towns i grew up around, full sized snickers bar or home aide popcorn balls. I remember we’d stop by several elderly couples houses and they would give out pennies and they’d be happy to see the kids and nobody ever complained Dad would say that’s all they could afford. its what you call the good ole days

Good ole days were when you could walk a couple blocks and a few houses would go all out on the garage haunted houses and Mangelson's displays. Seems these days most people just put up the inflatable displays and that's it.
