One year I gave away chemlights, had a bunch that were past date and a high rate of failure.  Had the kids open and activate right there, if it didn't go I'd give them another.

It would seem that Fistful and Seeker have volunteered to give away their bacon.

Which reminds me of a joke I heard today.

Q: If you have 20 pieces of bacon and give away 6 pieces, how many pieces do you have?
A: 20 pieces.

Q: <sigh> If you had 20 pieces of bacon and someone forcibly took 6 of them from you how many pieces would you have left?
A: 20 pieces and a dead body.

Nope, we give candy. Just regular ole candy.

Besides, I didn't say it would be good quality bacon.  =)

Candy or maybe ammo.
Chips are not bad. No homemade stuff, parents usually wont let their kids eat it anyway.

Ammo.


Beat me to it.

I've had one trick or treater in sixteen years of living here. Maybe it has to do with open carrying the .45 all the time.

We always buy a bag of the mixed fun size bars and eat them slowly over the winter months.

Its kind of funny we usually don't get that many kids on the street. Maybe 10 groups. Last year on Halloween the power was out. I had a small generator running so I ran a cord out front and hung a drop light on the front porch. They came out of the woodwork.

You can probably get a great deal on Peeps, right after Easter, and give those out.

Granola Bars
Rasins
Dental Floss
Pieces of Firewood
Playing cards (Fun size, 12 packs for a buck at the dollar store)
Wasabi Treats
Coffee Mugs  (old ones that you don't like/use any more)
Someone else said Ice Cream, another proven winner.
Cheese slices (did that one year to some teenagers that were a little to old to be going around playing dress up on Halloween)
Baby Carrots
Flower bulbs
Blank Cassette tapes

There are endless possibilities.

Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.

I used to give out AOL CDs. I'd save them all year and collect them from family and friends.

That's making prunes with Ex-Lax centers look pretty good.  :P

Although the one guy who'd make "snakes" out of 10's of thousands of AOL CD's, and then drop them off at AOL's corporate HQ had my admiration.  =D

no kidding,  my mom would give apples, and only about five of the family friends would bring their kids to our house.

chips and chocolate seem to be big winners around here.

I always take the kids shopping for costume stuff for dress up play within a day or two of Halloween.

I say have the biggest chocolate bars you can find, but make the outside of your house super scary.  That way they have to earn it.

There's an old mansion in Milwaukee that does exactly that: it's the only privately owned licensed boarding house in the city, and everyone there is a theater or sci-fi geek. Don't know if they still do it, but they used to set up the entire first floor as a haunted house, and gave out full-size candy bars for those who could make it through...
