So what's everyone giving out this year?
I rank Halloween candy according to the following tiers.

Tier 1 candy includes all chocolate bars except Mounds or Almond Joy. It also
includes things such as cookies or brownies

Tier 2 candy is your pixy stixks, smarties, sweetarts, red hots, etc.

Tier 4 candy is your bubble gums and most taffies

Tier 5 candy are those nasty peanut butter things in the orange and black
wrappers.

Tier 6 candy really isn't a candy at all. Tier 6 candy is the few pennies
someone gives you for UNICEF.

I have eighty bags with candy ready. Each contains l Tootsie Pop, one
package of M & M or the other candy that looks like it, one Hershey
Kiss and two of the following: Milky Way, Snicker, Crunch Bar or
KitKat bar, all fun sized. I no longer include a dime for UNICEF,
because it would have to be at least a quarter now and as it is,
nobody collects these coins any more, at least not in this building.

Happy Halloween.

Ok - first a question: why are Mounds and Almond Joy not included in
Tier 1?

We give all chocolate all the time, with two exceptions: we give
rice-krispie treats (not homemade) for those who are allergic to
chocolate or don't like it, and we give certificates to those kids whose
parents don't let them have certain other things - the certificates are
good for things in town at various stores.

Margaret, how do you DO Trick or Treats in an apartment building? I
think I'd be really tempted to park outside the elevator with a book and
a TaB and just hand the kids the goodies and tell them which apartment
it came from. No jumping up and down every 80 seconds to answer the
door.

Hey! Watch it there! Those "nasty" peanut butter things in the orange
and black wrappers are my favorite and I just voted for them on that
other thread's website.

A juice box for the first 54 (or 81 if I go shopping this afternoon) kids
who show up. The next 25 or so will get Cheetos. The Cheetos are being
given out last so that if there are leftovers I get them.
