What's the best halloween candy to give kids?

[Chili]

Free and without razor blades...

Apples with razor blades were the stories we were always told as kids. Though I don't recall ever getting an apple.

I have always liked smarties! One of my favorite Halloween candies as a kid. I also liked Bottlecaps (especially root beer), Tootsie Rolls (chocolate, not the fruity flavors), snack sized Snickers, Milky Way, Kit Kat.

The main crappy candy I remember growing up was candy corn. Some houses would give us pennies, lol. The other buzz-kills were the ones that would give you dental products (toothpaste, toothbrushes, floss).

Oh shit I TOTALLY forgot about the dental products. One of my neighbors as a kid was a dentist. I asked why he gave me toothpaste, he said to keep my teeth from rotting out. I told him if I was a dentist I would be giving kids bags of sugar and jawbreakers.

My mother gave out apples and oranges. We weren't a popular stop on the route. :-\

I had an old lady give out caramel apples, I really liked that. Hit her up every time early.

It would have been a lot cooler had they been caramel apples.

I seem to recall getting one or two of those, but can't remember for sure.

We used to cover a HUGE area and make pit stops at home to dump our bags (always used pillow cases, of course). We found that when they started getting filled up decently, people would give us less. We would go out as soon as it was dusk and stay out until the bulk of the porch lights were off (or people quit answering).

By the end I would typically have the pillow case almost totally full. The candy would last me months.

oh yeah, the old con job. We use to put paper bags inside milk crates and bungie them to our bikes, we just did drop offs. Then I would get home and my parents would "check the candy" for razor blades and yellow cake uranium.

I always loved the houses that gave out full size candy bars. I wanted to burn down the houses that gave out apples, about as bad as getting a pair of socks on Christmas when you're a kid.

Haha.. I was the youngest of 4 boys, the oldest being 9 years older and the closest 5 years older. By the time I was trick-or-treating my mom didn't check shit. I do remember my best friend's mom checking his though. But I think she just did that so she could snag the stuff she liked.

We would also cover the same areas twice some years. Start the night with just a mask, then go home and change costumes. Then, the second time around we would skip the crappy houses (that gave only one piece or the stuff we didn't like).

Those were very few and far between where / when I grew up, but there were some. But, when I was doing it (in the 80's) they didn't have the really small, bite sized, or whatever they call them today. They were about half the size of normal candy bars. Reese's peanut butter cups were full size but it was just one, and Twix was 2 bars, instead of the usual 4.
