God, who is the woman that was in Dirty Sexy Money? She was amazing, and gorgeous, and she had better be in here!

@tomato-of-fury: Yes! That is her name! (I was just too lazy to imdb it. and yes, she's great- much better than Baldwin the Lesser, too!) #candymagazine
there were a bunch of kids taking handfuls of candy when I told them "take one" tonight. I even cauht one guilty-looking princess in the eye and she lied to my face while she had two snickers in her fist. #candy
I usually like to mess with kids' heads and ask them what their "trick" is if I don't give them a treat (back in the ole times, kids would play a "trick" or a prank/vandalistic act on you if you didn't give them candy, hence "Trick or Treat"). The kids usually shrug and say "uh" for 20 seconds before I toss them candy. #candy
My mother (and I think lots of others in the neighborhood), made up halloween goody bags that had, i think, a lollipop, hersey's miniature, and one or two other things. Everyone got one bag. It worked well.
Making the bags was fun, as I had a habit of making a bag or two of my favorite things and then sneaking them up to my room. :)
@CherriSpryte: My husband and I did this! But we put a regular size chocolate par, a little bad of gummy candy (like cherry blasters) and a lollipop. Or another mini chocolate bar. We want to win the hearts of the neighbourhood children. clearly.
I've already stolen two bags. We don't get many kids anyway! #candy
True confession here: my brother and I would trick or treat together, but I'd always eat my candy all up by November 1. He would eat his more slowly, parsing it out to himself over a whole week. I would sneak into his room and steal a piece every day. We're estranged now, and he uses that as proof that I am "sociopathic," but now that he has two kids, I think he'll learn that it's kind of par for the course (I hope. That's not sociopathic, right? Just greedy. I do love candy.) #candy
When I was in high school, we'd go trick-or-treating for canned food for the local foodbank. Most people were so impressed with us they'd give us candy, too.
(This was a citywide thing, so the schools would make sure to put it in the paper and on the radio every day for week beforehand, so people didn't get scared.)
It was great! We were teenagers, but we still got to dress up, and it was for a good cause so no one could call us lame. #candy
We forgot to pick up candy one year, but had monster size boxes of Swiss Miss cocoa packets, microwave popcorn, and packets of flavored instant oatmeal. The kids were so stoked to get this stuff and would yell "mom, check it out"! I was cool for one evening. #candy
My aunt and uncle always hit up Costco for boxes of regular- and/or king-sized Halloween candy. Their neighborhood is super into Halloween (like, "dry-ice displays on the lawn" into it) and chock full of kids, so not only did I get to do some awesome trick-or-treating there, I also got to begin and end my evenings handing out candy to the early birds and stragglers. The look on a toddler's face upon receiving a candy bar bigger than his head is worth any price. #candy

Man, tracking down this info was nuts. It's only going to a limited number of speciality shops. Booo!
