What kind of candy do you distribute on Halloween? This year I bought a few bags of ring pops. I'm not a fan of chocolate candy I always was the kid who went for confectionery.

We normally don’t. Our small neighborhood does not have much children. It’s all about 5 groups over in about 15 minutes.

Mostly everyone travels for halloween to other/friends neighborhoods. Our neighborhood is pretty new though.

I am at my parents for Halloween this year. I prefer all the chocolate. All the sugary stuff is just too much for me.

No candy for the window lickers. Don't get many of them through here anyway

We typically get stuff we don't want to eat, so that we can avoid the temptation of eating it. We have five kids and a busy block. The kids go up and down the block and maybe a street over. They end the night with sacks laden with loot. We impose a heavy tax from their piles to teach them a lesson on economics. Teach them while they are young. ;)

We used to be rural NC and I guess for the most part we still are so no one ever stops here. When I was a kid we went to the mill hill in the town south of us. When we had the house in TN we never seemed to be there.
