Remember the days of going through our kids Halloween Candy - picking out the stuff WE like? I mean after all, we took them all around the neighborhoods, door to door .... we deserved a treat too. What did you keep for yourself?

At our house, we just put the candy in a big bowl in the kitchen cupboard and everyone shares it.

Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."

What do you mean "remember"? Are you implying that I'm getting senile and wouldn't remember last Halloween? Bill

We still have trick-or-treaters in our house, so this is a current situation! I love any of the Hershey's bars the best. Reese's are 2nd. I'm lucky - DD10 doesn't like chocolate much, so she shares liberally with me.

One year we had a huge number of T or Ters and ran out of candy while they were still coming. as our kids had already done the neighborhood and had huge sacks, we quickly said "OK, pick out what you don't like and toss them in the candy bowl". we managed to survive the night. Wink

now that the kids are too old to go out, I make sure the DW gets good stuff like 100 Grand and then I test them to see if they're as good as last year.

Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.

Lucky for you, but what's wrong with HER? I'd have that checked out... Wink

I used to go through their bags and declare a mommy tax. Hard to do that now... if they go at all (DS2 still likes to, but at 14 he really shouldn't...), they hide their stash from me.

Great. Now that 100 Grand bar in my desk drawer is calling to me ... I think I'll answer it. Bill

No T-Ters in our house, but I do love Snickers! Especially from the frig or freezer. Big grin

Well, I think that Candy Corn is the worst! I rank that right up there with those marshmellow chicks at Easter time. I always go for the Kit Kats and Peanut M&M's. We always had to save the Butterfingers for my mom (grandma).
