Top Candy for Trick or Treaters?

Answer 1

While Halloween may be the spookiest holiday of all, it is also the sweetest. Every year millions of children head from door to door trick or treating to receive candy. Some homes pass out raisins, pencils, and other treats that can be well received, but the favorites and quintessential picks are always candy. Of course, you can hand out any kind of candy on Halloween, as children will enjoy them all. However, to kick it up a notch and best known for the best candy in your neighborhood, consider sticking to special festive treats that reflect your Halloween spirit. Remember, most parents prefer candy that is individually wrapped and sealed, rather than homemade treats or open bags. Spooky Shapes: Sometimes the best way to spread the Halloween spirit is through candy shaped like your favorite Halloween spooky shapes. Bones candy is a big favorite, with pressed sugar shaped into little bones that are eerie yet delicious! They also make gummy bones in similar shapes, which are a fun alternative. Try finding sour gummy pumpkins, which pack a sour punch but look perfect for the holiday. These smaller candies should be bought in individual sized bags, rather than big bags which are often better for home or work occasions. Chocolates: Chocolate is always a top ranking candy favorite for children who trick or treat on Halloween. Any type will be well received, but what works best is miniatures bought in bulk. You can stick with traditional favorites like Snickers, Twix, or Milky Way, but keep in mind that it is also fun to have chocolate that is wrapped in Halloween wrappers so the theme is present. Retro Candy: This might be just as much of a treat for parents as it is for children. Instead of going with the standard grocery store candy that every other neighbor on the street will be handing out, select a type of candy that is a favorite in your memory-perhaps a sweet treat you remember from your own childhood trick or treating in years past. Favorites include wax lips, Necco Wafers, fruit flavored tootsie rolls, or anything else that comes in small sizes perfect for handing out.
