I love the caramel squares!! mmm...
I'm not a big fan of chocolate (though I've been known to eat snickers). I guess I actually like tootsie rolls! Just not the tootsie pop (they take forever and I just want to eat them!!)
You know what I used to hate getting as a kid? Tooth Brushes!!!

YUCK!! Many of my neighbors were dentists and I hated getting them because what kid likes to brush their teeth or even think of cavities whilst getting candy?

I kinda have a pet peeve against parents that drive their kids from door to door! As if kids aren't fat enough, let's drive them to stuff their faces with candy. If you need to drive to a candy neighborhood, park your car and walk with your kid!! It's one of the best memories I have with my parents is going trick or treating when I was little with them.

this is the first halloween since i found out i'm allergic to chocolate, so, I guess my favorite is blow pops or smarties or uh....juji fruit

I don't remember not liking any of my candy either.

This is kind of off topic, but if you mix candy corn and peanuts together, they taste like a Payday candy bar! Wonder if you added some Kisses (or maybe milk chocolate chips since they are smaller) if it would taste like a Baby Ruth?!?

When I was little I hated Tootsie Rolls, but they aren't bad now that I am older. What I didn't like then and still don't like now is candy corn...can't stand the stuff!!

My absolute favorite "fall" snack mix is dry roasted peanuts, indian corn (the candy corn with the brown top, not yellow) and plain m'n'ms. YUMMY!!!

I hated Bit'o'honey. Blech. Otherwise, I pretty much liked it all. I'm not picky when it comes to candy!

This will be my son's first Halloween. He's too young to remember it, but we will take him around to 4-5 of our friends' houses that live in our neighborhood. I would be very weirded out if we went to other places and someone took a picture of him in his costume. Even if we knew the people.

Reachthe Limit...Halloween is my favorite too.

Your house sounds like I would have stopped a lot, like change costumes and get my pic taken again just to get more candy, i'm sure its a neighborhood thing and not as creepy as it sounds on the internet....if this was a conversation in real life, I doubt it would be creepy at all.

Anything chocolate was and is my favorite! Unfavorites then and now: licorice or peanut butter kisses. Gack.

And now our porch is all decorated with pumpkins and candy corn and we can't wait for tomorrow night! Not that we'll get to see many trick-or-treaters since we take our own kids out.

Thanks...if the parents were weirded out, I wouldn't see them again, but I do every year.

The GC troublemakers were just following AlfaFrog's lead when she was the first to call it creepy, b/c they start going into withdrawal when they can't cause trouble on every thread that anyone posts to. It's kind of like when one dog starts barking in the neighborhood in the middle of the night, the rest of them start to bark and none of them really know why.

They get their buddies who moderate the thread to remove everyone else's posts but their own, and that is why they post here and not on other forums, where the threads get deleted altogether.
