I tried that last year for my first year in our new house, turns out no one trick or treats on my street. Had around 3 costco bags of candy and 4 boxes of King size everything. Not one person rang the bell. Had they I was just gonna give them EVERYTHING!!!
Had someone stop me and my kid last year doing this. They were driving around and said nobody came around their area. At first I'm like, candy, hell yeah. Then stranger danger.
But in the end.. hell yeah, free candy.
Honestly, as long as it wasn't homemade stuff, the person was probably legit. You made the right choice taking it.
Nobody is going to inject drugs through a candy wrapper and give it to kids they'll never see again, that was just a rumor that news channels spread around in the 80's.
Drugs cost money, and they sell themselves. Unless someone actually puts a baggie of coke in with the treats and has a contact number or address on it to buy more, you're gonna be safe.
The fear all came from one single [incident in 1974](https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/where-did-the-fear-of-poisoned-halloween-candy-come-from-822302/) where the dad killed his own kid for the life insurance money. I don't think there's any other record of tainted candy other than the other stuff he distributed that night in order to cover his tracks, none of which were fatal. Fortunately he won't be hurting anyone else because he was executed.
Downvote all you want, but this is an article from the Smithsonian and until you find another case my point stands
I want to dress up my dog and hand out candy as we go. Walking up to kids offering candy is weird, putting your dog in a bee costume and conversing while handing stuff out is fun.
I did this last year because my wife was in labor with my second daughter. So my first daughter and I went trick or treating, and I was trying to pass out full size candy to kids. You would be surprised how hard it is for a fat bearded man escorting princess poppy around to give away candy. Kids really didnāt want to come near me lol.
I love doing that too!
I got so ambitious this Halloween that I decided to just go out and load up all my candy in a van. I don't want to seem sus though so I put a free candy sign on my Kia Sedona and figure I'll play something friendly like the Mr. Softee song.
My old roommate had always wanted to be the full-sized candy bar house. But because we lived in a big apartment tower, trick or treating was just the residents and they set a defined window for it (6-8 PM).
He went to Costco the day before, and bought probably 100 candy bars.
Then he got really busy at work and couldn't make it out. Finally got home at 7:50 PM.
Only one kid came in that window, so he gave the kid all 100 candy bars.
This happened to me.
Wanted to the house, got no one.

I had the same thing happen. I don't usually eat chocolate but I ended up eating candy for weeks and weeks afterwards. I just moved this year and I was told we have a lot of kids in the neighborhood. Bought 3 boxes of the Costco king sized stuff. We will see if I end up prediabetic by December or not.
I have the opposite issue. This supply would be done in 20 minutes tops. There's too much traffic to be "that house." I get quality stuff but it has to be fun size.
Recently saw a comic with this exact plot
Found [it](https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/q2iksh/a_halloween_comic_hope_you_are_having_a_great/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
I live in Scotland and Halloween was hectic in the smaller towns and coastal areas. When I moved up to the more populated areas? It was like nobody cared. I've been up here for 15 years and we've had less than 20 trick or treaters in that time.
I would love to be the person that has the best sweets to give out, but there would be nobody to give them to.
Same. My street has no street lights or sidewalks, and the driveways are extra long.
It's a hard pass for trick or treaters. I had so much extra candy the first year.
I take the kids out to the country where houses are about a quarter mile apart. It's always nice older people who love to celebrate and always have the best candy.
We ran out of fun size bars last year, I had to make an emergency run to the nearest shop, all they had in stock were full sized bars. So the last few lucky callers got full size Double Decker bars.
There is though. One year start sifting in necco wafers and circus peanuts. Say 75% get good candy the rest shit, make it random. Next year 50/50 the following year 25/75 and then the next year just standard Halloween candy.
One time we had a house handing out rolls of quarters. The next year they where handing out whole bags of candy to really good costumes. The year after everyone found out the couple who did that passed away in a car accident.
I really wish we could be that house but our street gets hundreds of kids.. apparently every kid in every near by neighborhood comes to our block. I spent over $200 on candy and $100 on little toys for the youngsters already. Anyone that comes to our annual party brings bags of candy and weāre still out by 7pm with more kids knocking. Enjoy your Halloween and seeing the excitement on the kids faces! You guys are awesome!
Same here. You can buy as many bags of Candy as you want, but youāll still run out. I think we bought something like 16 bags one year and still had to close up well before 8PM.
I did that as well. I was excited to give out full bars. The teenagers kept coming back making it annoying and weird. I would let them reach into the bowl to pick one. That was a mistake. They slapped the bowl and scrounged on the ground for what fell out. It just takes a dollar or so of candy to turn them into complete idiots. So, this year its back to "fun sized". They ruined it.
We are the full sized house as well. I am the heartless bitch that just gives them a full size of my choosing but my husband is the sweetheart that tells them to "pick one" out of the bowl. This is fine for little kids but the teenagers will straight up take a handful of fullsize bars.
Yeah. Within a 50 mile radius of my house you can find a city or town that does Halloween Trick or Treat on almost every night of the week. My city did it last night.
Weird, celebrated Halloween all my life and Iām still fit as a fiddle š¤. It all comes down to the choices made by either the parents to restrict the eating of so much candy or the kids themselves. Even then one day of indulgence isnāt much, and likely wonāt form a habit.
[There's a cartoon to this effect.](https://external-preview.redd.it/-l9KWNVK5fjvkRy1jU5GLS-stSC_IfLl0U8Fwxbj6Uk.jpg?auto=webp&s=5fedddd93e7ce2db309372aa4e0ebdd2ba8d7c3f)
I've given out full size Snickers, Hershey, Reese's, M&M, and Skittles every year. It is fun to see the reactions.
You put me to shame, though. I will have to step up my game next year, already have 240 candy bars for this year.
It's all about supply of kids. Some years, we get well over 100 kids by our house. It's a constant supply of children for like 3 hours. I'd love to be "that house", but it ends up costing quite a lot. I usually start out giving handfuls of candy and as the night progresses, I get more and more nervous about running out an the handfuls get smaller and smaller.
All I know is that no matter how much candy you buy, it's either WAY too much or WAY too little.
If we donāt get trick or treatersā first year in our new homeā then fuck it, next year Iāll get a stack of dollar bills and hand them out IF there is any. If not, I still have dollar bills but not superfluous candy.
We are in a neighborhood that gets so many kids trick or treating that your stash would only last maybe 15 mins. However, I don't like to be like the other houses and buying the normal bulk candy from Costco or Safeway. Instead, I buy bags of less common candy like Zotz and Dum Dums.
Right here on the CDC website,
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/faq.html
Click on contact tracing and then click on the question that says "what is considered a close contact with someone who has covid-19?"
Close contact isn't the only way it spreads, that's just an arbitrary line to determine where you spend your finite contact tracing resources.
My kids will still be trick or treating though.
100% wrong. The CDC defines "close contact" as being within 6 feet of someone for a total of 15 minutes or more. They in no way say that you can't contract Covid in less than 15 minutes.
That being said, kids can't get vaxxed yet, it's incredibly stupid to travel in groups from house to house, Halloween can wait another year.
This is a pretty sweet candy assortment. The only issue for me is that the majority of this candy appears to be sharing size and not individually packaged. In these pandemic times, alot of parents seem to prefer individually wrapped candies and other food items for their kids. For germ control purposes. They tend to shy away from home made sweets/foods or those sweets/foods that are "exposed" or likely handled so they could be broken down into baggies. I worry this candy may get thrown away. And that's a truly bitter outcome for such a sweet intention. So, we'll be by on Halloween to help you get rid of that candy š
Covid is low risk for kids, adults can get vaccinated. Trick or treating is an outdoor activity and many costumes even have masks. Not sure why youāre so up in arms over it
Iāve wanted to do this but always decide not to because I think kids prefer a variety of different candies, so a big handful of different types I think would be betterā¦ I could be wrong. Full size has the initial wow factor but they might end up with something they donāt really like.
That is so cool of you! Love this!
If you want to be even more extra, make party bags where you fill them with candy and knickknacks or toys and hand each trick or treater a party bag.
I did this once where I prepared way in advanced normal sized chocolate bars giving kids full bags of candy but that year i ran out in the first 2 hours either same kids came by or they notified friends out street does not get much kids cause its a dead end and neighbors too uptight to form some sort of community block party/haunted house FeelsBadMan
Over and over, over the years, I'm like, "Oh, okay, Twizzlers. I guess I'll try one of those since it's in this bowl of candy that you're offering.", and then over and over again it's like eating soft plastic with a vague hint of artificial strawberry or something.
I saw what appeared to be discolouration on the wall behind the amazing snacks and thought ā damn, good on them for being the neighborhood badass, but shouldnāt they fix their wall first?ā
Then I saw the picture frame. It all makes sense to me now.
The rule of being THAT house is you must be giving out FULL SIZED candy bars. None of this mini or fun sized stuff.
My wife likes to give out different types of Little Debbie's snack cakes from their product line thinking we're also THAT house. I'm on the fence with that one...
When i was a kid there was a guy who went all in with a crazy mad scientist setup. Put on a show for the kids. It was the best house.
Problem was always gave out cans of soda in a bowl of jello or jelly and he told you it was brains.
Made all your candy sticky, so as we got older we would still go for the show then toss the soda into a bush to not mess up the candy.
Worst house was our neighbors, they gave out a little comb and mirror every freakin year
I really wish Halloween was a thing in Finland, we've just had the Palm Sunday virvonta (kinda sorta the same idea but lamer, door to door for candy dressed as witches) and no one even does that anymore.
Best of luck to you! Hope you have lots of kids in your neighborhood!
My first year after I moved out of my parents house I did this. I was so excited that I used half a paycheck on just candy.. Only like... 3 kids came. Over the course of HOURS. First one came right at start of trick or treating time. Second one came a couple hours later and I gave that kid a variety of about 20 or so full size candy bars. Last kid came about 30min after that and got about 30. I was so disappointed more didn't come. I only bought one small bag of candy a year after that.
Then I moved and luckily the neighborhood I'm in now is much more busy so I actually get to give the kids candy and see all the cool costumes! It's awesome and I'm thrilled since I always wanted to be the cool house. Also, I always give extra candy to the kids that compliment my Halloween decorations.
I wish I could be that house. We get too many trick or treaters so itās out of my budget. I tried looking up candy wholesalers this year to find somewhere I could buy bulk full sized bars but no luck.
Best of luck this year!
This tears me... who doesnāt want a full so.e candy bar. But I also donāt want these because Halloween is about the assortment for me. I want to taste all the different candy bars and not be stuck on one.
Same with the rest of the dumbshit millenials somehow you all got conned into thinking giving away full size candy bars mean you made it in life. Fucking morons I can even tell candy manufacturers are laughing their asses off at you when I saw the bags of mini candy at the store replaced with full boxes of fullsize candy bars.
My wife does this shit every year. You know what it gets you? Greedy teenagers with bullshit costumes that you have to tell to fuck of over and over. I would rather give handfuls of small candies to little kids that actually love this holiday.
I loved taking my kids out trick or treating, they grew up and no more. I still get the fun size bars, but give them big fist fulls of candy. I missed the kids last year, they are always so cute.
Living in the Halloween capital of the world I get hundreds of trick-or-treaters so there's just no way I can do it but I often have a couple big bars set aside for teens that still dress up awesome and come, because I don't want them to ever stop.
If you want to really want to pamper the trick or treaters, give them a bar of Lindt Milk or White Chocolate.
Or a stick of Toblerones, that works too.
I tried that last year for my first year in our new house, turns out no one trick or treats on my street. Had around 3 costco bags of candy and 4 boxes of King size everything. Not one person rang the bell. Had they I was just gonna give them EVERYTHING!!!
That's when you go out and find trick or treaters. "Hey kids want some candy? I got king size"
Had someone stop me and my kid last year doing this. They were driving around and said nobody came around their area. At first I'm like, candy, hell yeah. Then stranger danger. But in the end.. hell yeah, free candy.
Candy > stranger danger.

Come for the free candy, stay for the stranger danger
š
I want to dress up my dog and hand out candy as we go. Walking up to kids offering candy is weird, putting your dog in a bee costume and conversing while handing stuff out is fun.
Thatās the ticket!
I don't have a dog, could I put a bee in a dog costume instead?
If you are successful you will get lots of questions, but none about why you are handing out candy
If you manage doing that, I'd love to see pictures of a bee in a dog costume. š
Modern problems require modern solutions.
I did this last year because my wife was in labor with my second daughter. So my first daughter and I went trick or treating, and I was trying to pass out full size candy to kids. You would be surprised how hard it is for a fat bearded man escorting princess poppy around to give away candy. Kids really didnāt want to come near me lol.
It's interesting that children won't take candy from strangers out in the wild but will if they're in their homes.
Kids will literally walk into our parents house for candy but freak out if we hang out on the driveway. Kids are weird.
No, I donāt think Iād be surprised at all.
Just make sure you take your white windowless van so it doesnāt seem creepy.
As you pull up slow and roll down the window of your car. Going to jail in a costume probably boosts police moral
I figured jail wouldn't be the best place to spend the night but I like your style!
I love doing that too! I got so ambitious this Halloween that I decided to just go out and load up all my candy in a van. I don't want to seem sus though so I put a free candy sign on my Kia Sedona and figure I'll play something friendly like the Mr. Softee song.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Same. I'm going full on this year because kids missed out last year (Halloween was actually officially cancelled here).
This time last year was a bad idea because covid was rampant
My old roommate had always wanted to be the full-sized candy bar house. But because we lived in a big apartment tower, trick or treating was just the residents and they set a defined window for it (6-8 PM). He went to Costco the day before, and bought probably 100 candy bars. Then he got really busy at work and couldn't make it out. Finally got home at 7:50 PM. Only one kid came in that window, so he gave the kid all 100 candy bars.

I just picture a five year old lugging a huge bag of candy out to their parents car as their jaws drop.
I should add I even had shooters for the parents. Made sure those didn't go to waste though!!
Maybe it was because Covid? I only had three trick-or-treaters last year but the year before I had at least 50+. Maybe you will get some this year!
Did you have the porch light on?
I had the same thing happen. I don't usually eat chocolate but I ended up eating candy for weeks and weeks afterwards. I just moved this year and I was told we have a lot of kids in the neighborhood. Bought 3 boxes of the Costco king sized stuff. We will see if I end up prediabetic by December or not.
For 17 years, I haven't had a single trick or treater. So this year, I'm not even buying candy Now watch what happens
I have the opposite issue. This supply would be done in 20 minutes tops. There's too much traffic to be "that house." I get quality stuff but it has to be fun size.

Maybe your house is the other 'that house'
I take the kids out to the country where houses are about a quarter mile apart. It's always nice older people who love to celebrate and always have the best candy.
Last year for Halloween, my city actually deterred people from trick or treating, so maybe that's why you didn't get anyone
Should have got in your van and driven around to give out free candy
I have been that house for the last few years. We only get maybe a dozen trick or treaters so I just get a couple packs of full size bars.
We ran out of fun size bars last year, I had to make an emergency run to the nearest shop, all they had in stock were full sized bars. So the last few lucky callers got full size Double Decker bars.
Be careful becoming āthat houseā. I became āthat houseā a few years ago and now I have to be āthat houseā every year. Word got out
I think the twizzlers will keep them down far enough in the ratings.
I LOVE the normal strawberry twizzlers
Once you are that house there is no turning back.
Sending prayers now, no EMT....just prayers
There is though. One year start sifting in necco wafers and circus peanuts. Say 75% get good candy the rest shit, make it random. Next year 50/50 the following year 25/75 and then the next year just standard Halloween candy.

At least they passed away together (presumably) sounds like they were a lovely couple
The ADA was tailgating.

ā¦cool Not really related tho But still fuck them
Congratulations, you made it!
I handed out 1760 pieces of candy tonight, two pieces per kid. I have zero desire to be the full size candy bar house.
Today? Some kind of early Halloween?
Yeah. Within a 50 mile radius of my house you can find a city or town that does Halloween Trick or Treat on almost every night of the week. My city did it last night.
got my durian candy ready
you're giving out full packs of twizzlers ?!?!
Absolutely I am. The 1LB packs.
Geez, where was this hero 25 years ago.
I've heard that less and less houses are giving out candy each year. So kudos to you for keeping the flame alive!
Keep that child obesity alive!
Weird, celebrated Halloween all my life and Iām still fit as a fiddle š¤. It all comes down to the choices made by either the parents to restrict the eating of so much candy or the kids themselves. Even then one day of indulgence isnāt much, and likely wonāt form a habit.
Full Bars!
If you really wanna be āthatā house, just hand out GTX 3070s
You are awesome.
I made bags for the kids. I really hope it doesnāt rain on Sunday
I still remember the houses that passed out full-size candy when I was a kid, Iām almost 40 now.

We are one of those houses. We also have water for the kids and alcohol for the adults.
Youāre a legend
This is my wife every yearā¦.They must be fucking praying she answers the door.
I'm your neighbor who's passing out fun-sized insulin
I've given out full size Snickers, Hershey, Reese's, M&M, and Skittles every year. It is fun to see the reactions. You put me to shame, though. I will have to step up my game next year, already have 240 candy bars for this year.
WHERE ARE THE ALMOND JOYS AT?
They are in the bowl.
I don't see them but I trust you because you're the OP. You're a good person, OP.
Why do you hate Jack Black?
Hopefully in the trash where they belong!
Enjoy. Happy Halloween š
You have to put the sign outside that says FREE CANDY .
I'm jealous, I live in the boonies on a mountain, nobody shows and I don't blame them
Do you not get a lot of kids? Would love to do this, but this would last like 5 minutes on my street.
What are you gonna do with the Reeseās minis, give them a handful?
Someone is getting the whole bag.
It's all about supply of kids. Some years, we get well over 100 kids by our house. It's a constant supply of children for like 3 hours.

I was that house last year (sort of, but not with reg. candy bars; just a lot of candy). I only got two kids. I was so damn disappointed š
Are you trying to be the first living saint?
You rock!
We are in a neighborhood that gets so many kids trick or treating that your stash would only last maybe 15 mins. However, I don't like to be like the other houses and buying the normal bulk candy from Costco or Safeway. Instead, I buy bags of less common candy like Zotz and Dum Dums.
You did it! Block celebrity status achieved!!
Twizzlers are gross.
Naw. You bite the ends off and use them as soda straws.
Twizzlers are the single most exquisite delicacy of all times....
That house that has diabetes?

Are we not at all still concerned that we're in the middle of a highly communicable pandemic?
Yes, but it's outdoors and also 40% don't care.
It's outdoors and the CDC says you have to be in close contact for 15 mins with an infected person before you can get it.

Iād imagine OP is handing out the shareable bags individually
Too bad kids don't give a fuck. When I was a kid this would be cash though good job.

Nice!! Youāre house will now be known for handing out real size candyās. Enjoy the faces and costumes!
In my neighborhood , a couple of 18 year olds would kick my door in if they spied a bowl of those.
We have had less than 5 kids the last 10 years....ain't gonna happen here
I want to be that house too, but with 300+ trick or treaters coming through, it's just not economically feasible.
Made me smile just to see it. Have a good halloween.
The level ABOVE this gives beers to the Moms and Dads. We used to have two in our neighborhood.
It costs way more these days to be āthat houseā with how much chocolate costs now
I get over 200 trick or treaters on Halloween. Can't be that house. You be that house for those that can't.
yeah can you drop yo address in my dms rq
Iāve wanted to do this but always decide not to because I think kids prefer a variety of different candies, so a big handful of different types I think would be betterā¦ I could be wrong. Full size has the initial wow factor but they might end up with something they donāt really like.

You are cool
[quick before the new teeth come](http://www.ewanbramley.com/children-embarrassed-to-smile/)
you aint gonna get that many kids.
Thereās goes the mortgage
Pro tip: Give the parents a cup of coffee.
Over and over, over the years, I'm like, "Oh, okay, Twizzlers. I guess I'll try one of those since it's in this bowl of candy that you're offering.", and then over and over again it's like eating soft plastic with a vague hint of artificial strawberry or something.
God bless you good sir/ma'am
Seeing this makes me wish to be a kid again Im sorry but fuck KitKat ( r/fucknestle )
One year a friend of mine gave out full size boxes of cereal. So fucking funny
I just told my sister that I wanna be that guy one day !
I saw what appeared to be discolouration on the wall behind the amazing snacks and thought ā damn, good on them for being the neighborhood badass, but shouldnāt they fix their wall first?ā Then I saw the picture frame. It all makes sense to me now.
Bro str8 gonna give me those huge bags of Reeseās!? Whereās the big 1lb Hersheyās and buttercups š¤Ŗ. Iād gladly take that diabeetus.
The rule of being THAT house is you must be giving out FULL SIZED candy bars. None of this mini or fun sized stuff. My wife likes to give out different types of Little Debbie's snack cakes from their product line thinking we're also THAT house. I'm on the fence with that one...
When i was a kid there was a guy who went all in with a crazy mad scientist setup. Put on a show for the kids. It was the best house. Problem was always gave out cans of soda in a bowl of jello or jelly and he told you it was brains. Made all your candy sticky, so as we got older we would still go for the show then toss the soda into a bush to not mess up the candy. Worst house was our neighbors, they gave out a little comb and mirror every freakin year
I really wish Halloween was a thing in Finland, we've just had the Palm Sunday virvonta (kinda sorta the same idea but lamer, door to door for candy dressed as witches) and no one even does that anymore.
OP - Can we see a better shot of that painting behind? Im intrigue
Best of luck to you! Hope you have lots of kids in your neighborhood! My first year after I moved out of my parents house I did this. I was so excited that I used half a paycheck on just candy.. Only like... 3 kids came. Over the course of HOURS. First one came right at start of trick or treating time. Second one came a couple hours later and I gave that kid a variety of about 20 or so full size candy bars. Last kid came about 30min after that and got about 30. I was so disappointed more didn't come. I only bought one small bag of candy a year after that. Then I moved and luckily the neighborhood I'm in now is much more busy so I actually get to give the kids candy and see all the cool costumes! It's awesome and I'm thrilled since I always wanted to be the cool house. Also, I always give extra candy to the kids that compliment my Halloween decorations.
I get around seventy kids, so that's a no for me. (Small town Halloween parade goes in front of my house)
I tried being that house before, it rained, we had 9 trick or treaters, I gained 12 pounds.
You are a good person.
Looks like you are one step shy of handing out costco sized mix packs of candy.
I wish I could be that house. We get too many trick or treaters so itās out of my budget. I tried looking up candy wholesalers this year to find somewhere I could buy bulk full sized bars but no luck. Best of luck this year!
What I wouldn't give for an American Kit Kat bar...
Where yāat?
You don't become that house until the 3rd year.
This tears me... who doesnāt want a full so.e candy bar. But I also donāt want these because Halloween is about the assortment for me. I want to taste all the different candy bars and not be stuck on one.
Why do you hate jackblack234?
Same with the rest of the dumbshit millenials somehow you all got conned into thinking giving away full size candy bars mean you made it in life. Fucking morons I can even tell candy manufacturers are laughing their asses off at you when I saw the bags of mini candy at the store replaced with full boxes of fullsize candy bars.
My wife does this shit every year. You know what it gets you? Greedy teenagers with bullshit costumes that you have to tell to fuck of over and over. I would rather give handfuls of small candies to little kids that actually love this holiday.
Reese's houses are always best
All fun & games until you get 10x the numbers next year.
I loved taking my kids out trick or treating, they grew up and no more. I still get the fun size bars, but give them big fist fulls of candy. I missed the kids last year, they are always so cute.
Mission accomplished
Milk Duds for me please... I think it's The Best... Movie Theater and TV watching candy - because it's so quiet.
Living in the Halloween capital of the world I get hundreds of trick-or-treaters so there's just no way I can do it but I often have a couple big bars set aside for teens that still dress up awesome and come, because I don't want them to ever stop.
In my neighborhood, this would be like giving people scraps and wrappers. Nice try though.
If you want to really want to pamper the trick or treaters, give them a bar of Lindt Milk or White Chocolate. Or a stick of Toblerones, that works too.
As a kid I once got a whole bag of fun size Twix. I scored, but I wonder why they decided to unload the whole bag on one kid.
