Sources have warned us to expect in the neighborhood of 150 – 200 kids come Halloween night. I’ve made two separate candy-shopping excursions so far, mixing it in with my regular trips to the stupidmarket so as not to scare myself. Here’s what sits in bags on the dining room floor right now:
1 bag of Snyder’s pretzels (36 pouches. G says we’re gonna get egged for trying to give away pretzels. I think not.)
3 bags of Butterfinger (51 pieces; I ate three)
1 bag Butterfinger Crisp (18 pieces)
4 bags Kit Kat (84 pieces)
1 bag Brach’s Honey Candy Corn (75 pouches)
1 bag Jolly Rancher Assortment (100 pieces of fruit-flavored chewy candy, hard candy sticks, and lollipops)
1 bag Junior Mints (16 pieces; they were not on sale like the rest were)
1 bag Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup (15 pieces)
1 bag Reese’s Crispy Crunchy Candy (20 pieces)
2 bags Snickers (36 pieces)
2 bags Milky Way (36 pieces)
4 bags Nestlé Crunch (96 pieces)
2 bags 3 Musketeers (42 pieces)
1 bag Tattoos For Trick-Or-Treaters: A Safe And Healthy Alternative (20 boxes, because there should be some tricks after Halloween is officially over)
That comes out upwards of SIX HUNDRED FUN-SIZE CANDY BARS. But at two hundred kids, that’s a measly three apiece. Or is that the going rate? The last time I had trick-or-treaters I was so excited I just told them to take handsful. Or am I going to be bringing in a boatload of leftovers to work November 1st? Weigh in, people!

You have no milk duds. What’s wrong with you? Honestly. What, are you crazy or something?

Dude, you think I’m going to give AWAY Milk Duds? Seriously, I don’t think I saw any. If I did, they weren’t on sale.
And yes, I AM crazy.

Well, hogging Milk Duds makes sense. I buy them and don’t tell the BH, and then I eat the WHOLE BIG MOVIE THEATER SIZED BOX and then I am sick to my stomach and then he sees me lying on the floor in a puddle of drool and says, “you ate a whole box of milk duds, didn’t you?” So there, I’m crazy too. : )
